How to activate Kaspersky license using a key file

 

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and Kaspersky Anti Virus 2010 are the latest version of Kaspersky Lab. Kaspersky Lab added a lot of powerful features in these new versions, but one thing is missing there – you cannot activate Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and Kaspersky Anti Virus 2010 using key file. Because this option is not available in “License” menu, you can only activate kaspersky 2010 using activation code.

In order to activate Kaspersky 2010 using key file, you have to use a simple trick. In this trick we are going to activate Kaspersky 2010 using wrong activation code, so that we can enable “Activate Kaspersky using key file” option.

1. Open Kaspersky License Manager (from lower right corner).
2. Click ‘Activate the application with a new license’ button. (Delete any trial key first, by clicking the red X next to the key).
3. Disable your internet connection (either disable Network adapter from control panel or turn off your modem/router).
4. Select ‘Activate commercial version’ and enter the activation license code as 11111-11111-11111-1111X or select ‘Activate trial license’.
5. Click Next, an error dialog box will open as shown below
6. Click Ok and you will now get the option to activate kaspersky using a key file.
