Commercial – a commercial license with a limited validity period (for example, one year), offered upon purchase
of Kaspersky Small Office Security. Each license is assigned a number of hosts on which you can install
Kaspersky Small Office Security with this license.
If a commercial license is activated, all application features and additional services are available.
As soon as a commercial license expires, Kaspersky Small Office Security remains a full-featured application,
but the anti-virus databases are not updated. You can still scan your computer for viruses and use the
protection components, but only using the databases that you had when the license expired. Two weeks before
the license expiration date, the application will notify you of this event so you can renew the license in advance
(see section "How to purchase or renew a license" on page 42).
Commercial with an update subscription and commercial with an update and protection subscription – a paid
license with flexible management: you can suspend and resume the subscription, extend its validity period in the
automatic mode and cancel the subscription. A license with subscription is distributed by service providers. You
can manage the subscription from the user's Personal Cabinet on the service provider's website.
The validity period of a subscription can be limited (for example, to one year) or unlimited. If a subscription with
a limited validity period is activated, you should renew it on your own when it expires. A subscription with an
unlimited validity period is extended automatically subject to timely prepayment to the provider.
If the subscription term is limited, when it expires, you will be offered a grace period for subscription renewal,
during which the full functionality of the program will be maintained.
If the subscription is not renewed, when grace period expires, Kaspersky Small Office Security ceases to update
the application databases (for licenses with an update subscription) and stops performing computer protection
or executing scan tasks (for licenses with a protection subscription).
When using the subscription, you will not be able to use another activation code to renew the license. This is
only possible after the subscription expiry date.
If already have an activated license with a limited term at the time of subscription activation, it is substituted with
the subscription license. To cancel the subscription, contact the service provider from whom you purchased
Kaspersky Small Office Security.
Depending on the subscription provider, the set of available actions to be performed on the subscription may
vary. Also, the grace period when subscription renewal is available, is not provided by default.
