1. Download Kaspersky Internet Security / KAV 2009 from
www.kasperskylab.com NOTE: If Kaspersky is already installed with backlisted keys / trial activation then: Remove any existing keys / trial license, by going to License -> Merge/Delete -> Delete Key.
2. Once installed, it will ask you to register, skip through this section.
3. On a new installation, your PC reboots. After the computer has rebooted load up Kaspersky, click on "Settings" and go down to "Options" and un-check
"Enable Self-Defence".
Click OK.
4. Exit Kaspersky from the taskbar icon:
5. Launch Registry Editor:
Click Start Menu button / pearl:
For XP:
Go to RUN, type REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.
For Vista:
Type REGEDIT.exe in the Search box (Start Search box). Press Enter.
6. Navigate to the following key, depending on your Operating System:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP8\environment\
(for XP users)
Or,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP8\environment
(for Vista users)
7. Scroll down to Product Status , Right Click on “Product Status”, Select MODIFY
8. Change the data from “Release” to “Beta” (without quotes)
9. Exit Registry Editor (regedit)... and reload Kaspersky, you'll notice that when you go to the area where you
normally input your key you now have an option to "Activate Beta Version".
Or, Kaspersky will automatically pop-up the activation screen, saying:
Activate using KEY file, Online, or Activate Beta Version.
10. Click “Activate Beta Version” and you'll get a 30 day BETA trial, the great thing is you can just redo this process again and again when beta expires or so...
NOTE: Make sure you ENABLE Self-Defense again after activating beta version, by going to “Settings”-> “Options” to ensure total security.
11. After 30 days, when it expires, pick "Activate Beta Version" again! and again and again...
Isn't it a lifetime license! :D ? Enjoy!
Basically what you've done here is fool the Kaspersky server into thinking your using the BETA version of the product when in fact you are actually using the Release version that will give you all the updates etc like a full release.
No need for any keys!
Hope this post help!Enjoy ...and comment :D !
I’m using Vista, it works well!
