How to activate Kaspersky 2011 license using a key file

by Mayur on June 8, 2010

in How To's,Tips 'n' Tricks

kasperskyKaspersky 2011 is now launched and like its previous version 2010, Kaspersky 2011 does not allow activation using a license key file i.e. without an activation code. However, one can activate KAV 2011/KIS 2011 with a license key file, using our old tipHow to activate Kaspersky 2010 license using a key file?

Kaspersky 2011 users need to use the fresh tutorial given below.

UPDATE: I’ve removed the old procedure because it was blocked by Kaspersky in new version. Below is a 100% working trick to activate latest version of KAV/KIS 11.0.1.400 using a license key file. Check the new method below:

Activating Kaspersky 2011 license using key file:

1. Open Kaspersky 2011 License Manager (from lower right corner).

2. Click ‘Activate the application with a new license’ button. (Delete any trial key first if you want, by clicking the red X next to the key).

Activating Kaspersky 2011

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

kaspersky_enter activation code

5. Click Next, an error dialog box will open saying ‘wrong activation code’ as shown:

kaspersky2011_error box

6. Click Ok and you will then get the option to activate kaspersky using a key file.

activate kaspersky 2011 using key file

7. Browse to the key location on your computer and activate kaspersky.

Special Thanks to madeinheaven for sharing this trick in our comments section. :D

What’s the difference between activating 2010 or 2011 versions? AFAIK, both are same.

Mayur June 9, 2010 at 8:48 am

Yeah, pretty same. This post is meant for users who are new to Kaspersky. :D

@chibi, Abderrahim Gherib and sharif
Yes, just tried and it’s not working on KAV/KIS 2011 Critical fix v11.0.1.400. Hope I or someone else may find a way to it. :D

piu July 30, 2010 at 9:55 am

why my kaspersky dosntshow the key dialog???

AliRezA July 30, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Coz Ur Kaspersky Version Is Lastest Version.
kis11.0.1.400en <<< In This Version Dosnt Work
but the Older Version Like kis11.0.0.232en Worked correctly.
u must download kis11.0.0.232en and have fun with any key that you can find in the web.

eric July 30, 2010 at 9:25 pm

Hi, someone has an activation code. However, one can activate KAV 2011/KIS 2011 ????

Hi guys! I’m asking for “where is a valid key file?” I’ve downloaded a pack of key files, but all them are wrong!! Kaspersky Lab blocked any key file! Help me please! :( (

maykaDK November 30, 2010 at 8:48 pm

i had the same problem but when i disabled internet connection it was working…

Louis November 30, 2010 at 11:22 pm

You have to disconnect the internet and type 11111-11111-11111-1111X for the code – then it will give you the error message. Click OK and *with internet connection disabled* you will have to find your KEY file that came with your torrent and upload it.

Mine worked but the license is only for 37 days but that’s 37 more days than I had on my trial version.

simple man February 24, 2011 at 7:14 pm

the code is working with kis 2011 11.0.1.400 thanx a lot.

Choto Cheeta February 26, 2011 at 3:04 am

Theoritically speaking, it can only help those who are looking for piracy..

Reason 1 : Kaspersky Labs no longer provide REG key based activation for their home user product, namely single user license pack or 3 user license pack Internet Security or such.

Reason 2 : Now since Kasersky them self is not supporting REG Key donwload (my.kaspersky.com) from their activation center, then the only way a home or small business user can get the key is from a pirated source..

It is a bad move by kaspersky to turn off this feature !!!! Many of the PC i work in are not connected to live internet and only option left is Microsoft Security Essential for the reason..

SHUBHAM March 4, 2011 at 1:48 am

you are making fooollllllll……………..last window doenot appear……………….

berk March 11, 2011 at 12:22 am

hello!
I’ve been doing this for a long time, however, today my key has been blacklisted and i disconnected the connection then clicked on active with new lisence, then typed some numbers randomly into the key box. then i clicked to the next buton but it didnt come up to the window with browse box. i was doing this few years until now. hit me back folks.
version is 11.0.2.556

elham March 12, 2011 at 10:23 am

i have bought a kespersky CD for 3-PC so i have installed and updated, when i scan a flash then a warnning messege displied , and the virus which have been detected not naturalized , so how can i slove the problem ?

Rohan March 12, 2011 at 1:54 pm

hey guys… try the above procedure in an offline mode.. it works like a charm..then if the key is not a blacklisted one you would be able to update your KAV/KIS.

Asif Parkes April 30, 2011 at 10:16 pm

HEY GUYS!!!! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS!…O.K so im presuming that all of you guys on here want to prolong your internet Kaspersky liscence without buying it again. Well there is an easier way to do so than the way shown on the website….I know it may sound strange but simply change the sate settings on your computer to the date when it was viable…for example if you downloaded trial on 10 th march 2011 and it ran out on 10 th April then change your date on your computer back to tenth of March….o.k you’ll have the wrong date on your somputer but hey you got free Kaspersky for another month…I hope this helps guys 8)
