Kaspersky is one of the top security software providing best protection to your data from latest Viruses, worms, phishing attacks, malware, etc. I’ve now found a 100% working trick, using which one can use Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 after end of its 30 days trail for Free.
Follow the steps below carefully to do it:
1. Open Kaspersky settings > Options and uncheck Enable Self-Defense. Click Ok.
2. Exit Kaspersky.
3. Go to Start, open Run, then type regedit and press enter.
4. Under Registry Editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Kaspersky Lab > protected > AVP9 > environment.
5. Find the entry ProductStatus and change Release to Beta.
6. Press OK then open Kaspersky.
7. Under License, Activate beta license then press Next and Finish (Delete any trial keys first if any, as they wont work).
8. Re-enable Self-Defense from options.
9. Now you have 30 days of beta license activated. After every 30 days, simply click Activate Beta (delete the expired beta key first) and enjoy another 30 days Free 
Kaspersky will now show as Beta Version though it is your final version only. Enjoy!
Update – How to delete the expired key & activate beta license ?
To delete beta key, open Kaspersky > License Manager and click on the red X (cross) next to the code. Then click on Yes button as shown in below image.
Now click ‘Activate New License’ option and then chose ‘Activate beta license’. Click Next to activate kaspersky.
Update (28 Jan) – As pointed out by most readers, I also got the same error saying ‘key is blocked’. I guess, Kaspersky has finally figured out this loophole and fixed it via updates 
Update (29 Jan) – Finally another way is out! Our smart readers ‘Stalin & Mr. Fix it’ have provided a quick and simple solution via comments to use Kaspersky for FREE 
Check the new procedure below:
1. Delete any license keys first.
2. Disable Self-Defense and Exit kaspersky.
3. Following above steps, change the ProductStatus back to Release in registry.
4. Double click PCID and change the last 3 digits to what ever you want and click Ok.
5. Exit registry editor and restart kaspersky.
6. Select activate trial license and you should now have 30 or 31 days remaining. Repeat this method any time to reset to 30 days.
UPDATE – Kaspersky Trial Reset tool [Use Kaspersky for Free after 30 days]

Thanks for sharing this interesting tip.
Hi Mayur,
I too found this trick but when i did this thing kaspersky popped up a message saying “this license is not for this version of this software”. Any way to get it ?
Try it properly, I myself did it on final version of KAV 2010 (9.0.0.463) and it’s working fine
Yes bro it is working. Thanks so much.
Hi,
I deleted the key that I was using before from its location, but it still keeps reporting that “The key file is not compatible with this product …. ”
How to get around this issue ?
Thanks
I figured it out. Just need to exit to reset its path. Restarting KIS got it to work.
Thx
Hey I think it worked, thank you!
Well I musst see if in 30 days it still works.
See you Than xD
Thanxs man, it worked.
sir,
as i activate beta license and click on next, there is an error saying ‘Activation error: server name could not be resolved.’. i checked on my internet connection and it is connected. how can i resolve this one? did i miss something? thanks..
mike
I did this and it works. I just wonder if I can update kaspersky or it will blacklist the beta key file?
hei bro,i don’t know how to delete the first key that i attached.any way to get it?
I am trying to activate my kaspersky 2010 using a key file but I have failed could any one help me out there.
Works like a charm.
Thank you.
Would it not notify on how many days left before the “beta” key will expire?
Hi,
Can this method for Kaspersky Internet Security work for Eset Smart Security?
Thank you and Regards
John Lui
Thanks a lot. I tried this trick on my Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 ans it worked. Quite a cool trick. Thanks again……… XD
Thanx Man. It worked. Its great. Again thank u very much
it works only 30 days, when i go to renew beta license only activate commercial license shows up, not beta license.
You got it wrong! You first need to delete the expired beta key and then activate license. It’ll then show ‘Activate Beta license’ option.
I’m using this trick from past 2 months
hi
sorry to sey,i did all things but at last need beta serial key.what is the serial key?please give me the serial key.
thanks for the everything.
waiting for reply
shuvro
I tried it but does it work for windows 7..?? I didn’t find “protected” under components. My trial period is not over yet. will it work before.? Please reply. Badly need it.
I have the same problem as Nazmul Hassan.
I can’t find the folder “protected” in regedit.
Maybe because it’s the latest and only version that works on Windows 7?
Anyone else had this problem at first?
I found the solution to make this work on Windows 7.
You can find ProductStatus at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment
Hey man,
It does work for W7 but you have to look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment.
goodluck
works… very clever
and its not blacklisted up to this date
how can I delete old serial????
To delete old key: Under Registry Editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Kaspersky Lab > protected > AVP9 > environment
then where it says ProductCode, erase it, press okay. now open up kaspersky and activate the beta license. worked for me! good luck.
This is so great! It really worked! Thank you very much!
The question is, will it work to the latest version like 9.0.0.736?
Brilliant
he it’s very nice method. thank you admin your are my God xexe
will this work on kaspersky 2010 9.0.0.736? i tried got in the regedit many times it does not have environment and only have product state instead of product status..
could someone help? thank you.
Great, Thank’s a bunch! working good for now on Windows 7 32Bit!
wooooow! that had rescued my pc, and working with latest database also.that’s great and thanks a loooooooot.
All the very best.
regards.
Yes it works. I have that version and protection is enabled.
Thank you!X
good idea!
How should I delete the expired beta key?
It wont work Now. cause No Beta Version on kaspersky net and no new beta key for now. U can use this beta version for only 1 month. with this single key.
works. thx.
i will appreciate it if i can use this anti virus
I Have KIS 2010 v9.0.0.736, tried to change the name to Beta but it keep saying: error writing the new values
I followed all steps and its working for me 100 %. To delete the key open the license manager as in picture of step 8. You can see the Red Cross (X) on top right of the White background area. just click this ‘X’ and delete the keys.
To prevent from “error writing the new values”, strictly follow the step 1.
Thank`s a lot Mayur. Work 100% for me (KIS 2010 9.0.0.736 a.b).
Thanks, i think this is not working anymore…
sorry, it is working, i mean i think.. just thinking…
Thank you!!! It work for me too.
How to change release to beta?
Pls replay
You can disable this function in the setting menu.
thx it really worked for kis 9.0.736
Great,
It worked
thanx man so much u’r so nice it’s worked
It’s been working for me now since September! Thanks, it looks like Kaspersky can’t stop this one!
yes it works but try for 30 days if it works….
Thank you for sharing this with us. The steps must be followed strictly if you want this to work, especially the step no.1.
All the best
Great work…
i follow 1 step bus as i change the productstatus value from release to beta is show an error “error writing the new values”…..how can i edit this value…..
I’m having the same problem as piyush…
I’m using Windows 7 btw…
SOMEBODY HELP!!!
its saying “Cannot edit ProductStatus: Error writing the value’s new contents.
SOMEBODY HELP!!!
@piyush @callmemvp Make sure you have Disabled Self-Defense option and Exit Kaspersky first, in order to change the product status.
Thanx Dude
i need a kaspersky av key for 2010
i m using a kav07 version
hey this is vikas currently i am using kav2010_9.0.0.736en free version i followed the procedure mentioned by you but it is not showing me “activate beta license” tab on kaspersky license activation wizard. can you please help me out……….
@russianprune.. can u help me out m also using the same version as your but it is not working: i finished upto step 6 but its not showing me any “Activate Beta license” tab……can suggest me wat to do next….
hey thnx bro………..its works thnx a looooooooooooooooot
thx man works fine!!!
this deserves a thank!
mostly of these ‘guides’ don’t work..
you have full service for one month and then ‘you could get a new license’
and surprise surprise .. it won’t work.
but this, (my license expired today) is genius !
it works like kickass! thanks =’)
geniuses!! you guys are simply geniuses!!
such a simple solution to what felt like a mind blowing problem..
i can proudly (that’s right, PROUDLY!) say i bought genuine KIS licenses for several years, ever since i first learned about Kaspersky some 5-6-7 years back (and supporting the developers by doing so). I am also proud to say i even managed to convince my office to switch to KIS (genuine obviously), but (aside from feeling i contributed enough…), currently i just cannot afford it.
So i looked virtually everywhere for a solution to my ‘problem’..
I’m quite sure everyone here also went through the difficulties of downloading key files, being unable to use any of them for being blacklisted, fakes, “incompatible with the installed version” and so on and so forth…
Until i tried the option described above!
Firstly, like others commented here, i stumbled upon the differences between the instructions described and the use of win 7 but then i read the comments about win 7, i looked for it in it’s right place and bingo, it worked like a charm!
thanks, you guys
Hi.. can any body help me?
I had renewed beta key for another month, after 3 days working, now problem is coming. Kasperskey can not update data due to ” Black list of key files is corrupted “. I tried to delete existing beta key and then activated new key, the problem still exist. How to solve it?
Please help..
Fantastic, that’s really wonderful, It is a simple but brilliant idea !!!
It works fine for me and I thank very much for this trick.
There is no Activate Beta License option in the License manager. Error description and feasible solution is there. HELP PLEASE.
VIKAS. i have the same problem how did you solve it?
Wow man !!! this is so cool.
Hi Nick!
first of all check your antivirus program as if it is “kaspersky antivirus” or “kaspersky internet security”. only then try to get license key from “activate.kaspersky.com”. if it is original license key you could be able to get a key file but if you have got the license key by searching internet browser you may not be able to get a licence key and you must use internet connection and then install the chinese verision of kaspersky antivirus then your license will work. then change your language to english version ……
any problem message me at heart_pray2006@yahoo.com
please don’t email ok i will not see
only sms ok
its works mate..thanxxx
hi all
I did what U said for about 2-3 months and just today Kaspersky started some stupid messages and than “license has expired” so I delete old key closed kaspersky, reopened(self defence was inactive all the time) and tried to activate beta version again but zomg got message:
“Key file or activation is blocked”
any ideas whats the story?
Even I get the same problem.
‘Activation error: server name could not be resolved’. What to do?
Even I get the same problem.
‘Activation error: server name could not be resolved’. What to do?
Please reply me to my email as I’m not a regular visitor of this website.
Same here.
Kaspersky says, the key file or activation code is blocked.
What to do?
Key Blocked!
same thing here….it simply says “key block”….
any solution out there?? it has been a great internet security…
I just started to get the same errors today as Artimaza reported.
“Key file or activation is blocked”
This is after even deleting the existing key and trying to reactivate with a beta license. I guess Kaspersky figured it out.
all were going smoothly suddenly a message displayed “activation code is bloked”
guys help me out
Hello,I also have the same problem after 2 months of activating beta license,I am gettinig an error message as “Key file or activation is blocked”.Please,someone help me.I can’t live without Kaspersky.:(
I would love to know this too
I keep getting the
“Hey File or Activation is blocked” message
Help? D;
hello, i have the same problem as Artimaza, a msg “Key file or activation is blocked” after updating the data base today (28/1/2010), what had happened? Kapersky Lab has detected the trick and block it? help pls, thx a lot
@All above
Sorry to say, Kaspersky has finally figured out this trick and fixed it. I’ve updated this post now.
Mayur …. pls do some thing yar!!!
It is because of OPEN WEB discussions like these that KAS…. make changes and stuff it up for everyone else!!! Come on poeple, keep thing in an environment that requires Membership / VIP access to be able to view these type of work arounds and obviously not open to the world toooo seee. Any ways what do I know I’m only into acting ;P
Looks like it’s back to ye ol’ trial resetter.
change the Beta to Release, then change the PCID in the regedit, dont forget to disable the enable self defense first, if you need any help send me email, when this month finihed, i will find another solution, KASPERSKY is the best………………………. please try to purchase a license instead of using the trail………………………..
yea i guess so..mine also have been blocked
kaspersky has figured it out..
Does anybody know some solution of manualy downloading updates to some folder, and using that folder as update source? I think that could be potential solution for using updated KAV.
If you change it back to release it let me activate a 30 day trial. You may want to do that, maybe in 30 days we’ll have figured out a fix. If you don’t want to do that then don’t.
I found a fix to reset the trial version to 30 days. Disable self defense and protection in kaspersky, click apply and exit the window, right click on kaspersky icon in the tray and click exit. Click start, click run, type regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Kaspersky Lab > protected > AVP9 > environment. In the right hand pain right click PCID and click modify. change the last 3 digits to what ever you want and click ok. exit registry editor and restart kaspersky, select activate trial and you should now have 30 or 31 days remaining. Repeat at any time to reset to 30 days.
Addition to my last post. Make sure that productstatus inside the same registry location is set to release and not beta. Delete the license key before changing the pcid in the registry.
Well crap, I didnt see that stalin posted this before me, oh well
it cant change to release and also PCID.
“Error writing the value’s new content”
thanks mr fix it..dat works like a charm
Yeah, the thing that stalin discribed works pretty fine:)
Thanks
works awesome..thanks
thanks mr fix, it’s life saving tip;)
Thanks Stalin and Mr fix It. Very nice. I have a trial resetter I found awhile back though it always gives a warning about a trojan, which is most likely a false positive. However, I’d rather hack the registry myself and KNOW what’s actually going on. Your method allows for that.
haha
Mr. Fix it, Stalin U’re the men!!!
Big time guys!!!
got it working ok
many thanks
Yeay this time it works!
awesome!
Thanks from Spain !! It works fine !! Each time is more difficult !! What will be the next registry key that we’ll must change ????
Bye
Thank you very much, Mr. Fix it! Finally there is another way to reset Kaspersky after the last time it was blocked!
Hello, I don’t know what happen?, in the registry editor I found the Kaspersky lab, but only appears the Components carpet not the one that should be appears, and I already disable self defense and exit kaspersky. Can you help me?
You don’t have unable auto-protecction. Normaly this is the reason. Go to settings menu->Options and uncheck ‘Enable Auto Protecction’
I’m sure you use Windows 7, so the name of the folder in regedit is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node
Thank you for useful tip
it worked fine..thanxx Mr. Fix It…!!
hope mayur will find some stable solution to this problem in 30 days…!!
Thank you. But, please, delete this article soon or this method don´t be alive much time because people of kasp…ky will destroy it, like they did with the method of beta.
Again, thank you for all.
PD: sorry for my english.
Hi
before knowing this site i had to spend so much time to try using kas for free :”>.

Excellent work! i was sad because Kaspersky lab bloked Beta license the 28 of Jan 2010 and i started searching for solutions like “trial resetter”, i downloaded many suposed “cracks” and all was crap, i found this article and i used the last trick and it worked perfectly
I just want to say “Fucking Thank you VERY VERY VERY…….x99999…. MUCH!
The best solution, i hope u keep finding new solutions for the mortals!
Thank you very much again and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Is this working 8.0.0.357 version?
i see it is working!!!!!!!!!!!
the pcid trick works although i had to try like 3 different digits
why can i not find “PCID” in the right pane of “environment” in the registry? I’m using Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 V8.0.0.506. Please help!
Woooow. Its works and It really worked for me. After Kaspersky detected the Beta crack, I have been searching for a solution for this problem.
It works till this date and till now.
SIK BRO SIK TYVM WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!! XX
Hello,kaspersky is working again,thanks a lot.But,I don’t know why,if I give Full Scan task,it is taking ages to complete.Before,it was quicker.Any problems with the latest tricks.I would be happy to know about this……..
Works fine. That PCID way has to do with the internal mechanism of how KIS identifies your pc. Now we will see if they can change it in the future. At least now it works.
hey it worked 4 me 4 2 months but now its showing “key blocked”…………wat shuld i do
Doesn’t work anymore. I tried to change the PCID but it’s still giving the error “Key file or activation code is blocked”

yes pcid is working from long time but there is one more method that is the best method witch will not give u anytime the error key file block or etc.. but two days before kaspersky service fix back the trail key activator becase.and they are working on it ..to change they whole program and release new version anyone can reactivate trail again for 30 days and enjoy it…but if this got block then i will post here the new method which is the best of all…. enjoy guys ..
Thanks man it worked perfectly!!!
Make sure your disabling self defense and not enable protection.
Thank you very much….

Hey…
i found that why not u guys just use a software called “Kaspersky Trial Resetter”?
i used this a long time ago before the beta trick was introduced…
now i just get back to use Trial Resetter again…
of coz it’s just a free software…
dankie homie !!
the above PCID tip really helped me a lot ! ! !
it worked for me ! thanks a lot bro!
@silent fox
ve tried many” trial re setter “…most of them are fake
can u share where do we get a real one ?
it worked man thanks!
Just wanna point that its still working so dont listen to the ones that say it isnt…
Thanks again
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!
U rock man…too good….keep it up….cheers…it works for me..m curently using Kaspersky Antivirus ver: 9.0.0.736.. it works fine…..
thanks a lot bro!!! it really helped me so much..
Hm how come after I change the pcid and try to activate my key, it says that the key is not compatible? and under PCID, my last three digit by default is not numbers but 2 alphabet and 1 number.. does it means I cant use this method?
am using KIS 2010. pls help me minimize the high cpu usage that slows to a crawl my computer operation? any solution plzzzzzzzzz. tnx sapay
hey Mayur thank you for your info..it really does help me a lot thanks again..
now can use kaspersky once again..
This also work for KAV 8.0.0.454, but you have to look for InstallId instead of PCID..
wow …. finally I found this solution. My antivirus working again perfectly. My antivirus KIS2010 9.0.0.736. ^_^
thank you very much
Thanks alot. Working 100%….
hey great trick!!!
I not tried but i think its working!!!
great! keep it up!!
thanks!
That happened when you use another antivirus software at the same time with Kaspersky.You must uninstall any AV software and let only Kaspersky in your PC.
thanks alot for sahring u r tips ..
it works great .. keep it up buddy..
Works fine…awsome man.
Thanks a lot.
Luis
new method works perfectly, i was getting the “key file or activation code blocked” error when resetting trial, but now all is well thanks guys!!!
hi, the new way works like a charm on KAV 2010 but everyday when i turn on my computer it displays a reminder that im using the trial version and displays the days left, its very annoying thats why i wanna reinstall KAV 7.0, however the registry tweak doesn’t work as i cannot find the PCID file. can someone please help me.
That’s a seriously dense question. If you honestly think something like this would work for a completely separate program like ESS, then you really shouldn’t be messing with Registry settings AT ALL. You’re likely going to hose something up!
Buy a license instead. It will save you having to pay someone to fix your system!
I have uninstalled a 30 day trial and installed the kav2010 and when i installed it again a “license:expired” has shown below the window of the application. Does this work in vista anyway? where can i find those registry like PCID?
it worked after all.. just read one of the post.. regarding win 7 and whoala!!! its there.. thanks guys…
I find it KAV 7.0 just nice, however trial has expired got blocked. Anyone got any idea to make it work?
sammy: Any idea?
thank u guys it really works superb good work find more tricks buddy cool dude
Wow, this really deserves a thank you! I’ve looked everywhere on the net and so far this is the first and only post that has worked! After searching endless hours on the net, finally found this useful post.
The first gave an error, but the second solution seemed to fix the problem!
Thanks alot guys, you all deserve a thumbs up!
Error is coming that cannot edit PCID
Can anyone tell me whats wrong
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 9.0.0.736
IT works..i used the 3rd method…THANKS THANK THANKS no more TRIAL RESETTER =)
worked like a charm!
thanks so much!
Thanks buddy the 2nd method worked like a charm, i have reset it successfully
hmm Double check- KAV (anti-virus) and KIS (internet security) are different matters.
this is awesome. works every time. thanks a lot
I have got a KIS 2009 updated from KIS2008 online. I can’t find any PICD in registry for kaspersky!
Thanks You Very Much.
Very brilliant ideas … but I don’t have a beta license in my options ?????
Help ???!!!
working !!!!! i tried two times and its work fine..
my suggestion exit kaspersky from task bar after changed PCDI
hey thanx for this bro, finally i can use kis10 without worries, even without the key… thank u for posting this one.. hope they dont find this out!! hehehe…
My Beta option appear but it doesn’t works not even doing PCDI way… help…plz send help for e-mail
How about kis 7. Old reset.reg doesn’t work anymore. Does anyone have the same problem. Any ideas?
Cool. I wasn’t able to get the beta thing working. But, playing with the PCID key did the trick. Now, I have free Kaspersky Internet Security 2010. Hurray. Hope they do not put a fix for this in the next update.
Can you give me an example of correct PCID? how many bits is the correct PCID? I somehow dont know if i carelessly deleted too much bits and just replace it with 3 bits. thanks
Wow this is a great guide bookmarked it for future reference
Sir,its not working,even your pcid trick is not working,is there any other way to come out from the situation,if you have any kindly send me to adam8bhopal@gmail.com
Thanks
The PCID thing works for me….Great job…Thanks a lot…
Its still working:)
It’s absolutely superb thank you guys keep up the good work & if this trick stops working then please find and post a new one.
hi guys,

GOD BLESS YOU!
I cant change the PCID, it is said you cant edit the PCID, although I did it last time followed your instructions and succeeded. My license is 2 days more, but I wanna activate now, so is this ok or does it prevent me to activate new trial license?
@ Tra:
dear 1st disable kaspersky self defense and then exit kaspersky even from taskbar’s tray icon & then you can edit PCID, once u edit it then restart ur machine. after that activate trial version it will work
it doesnt work anymore
Yeah. it doesn’t work now. How i can repair it?
I also have problem now it doesnt work anymore
ops i wana tell mayur
Still works just the 3 digits have just been moved instead of being the last three they are the three before the last four. May not be very clear… but it works, just need adjustment
hi nice job.. thank u.. rock it..
Thanks a lot! It worked, somehow.
I deleted the trial license, closed KIS, then changed the last 3 characters of PCID, and ProductStatus back to “Release”. Then I started KIS, and activated the trial license. I hope it lasts for a long time:)
omgggg XD It works!~ Thanks a million =] Big props to the guys figured this out! Yay ^^ Ta-ta :3
well done, works with PCID tip but you forgot to tell to restart in safe mode then to your steps becouse KAV has some active proceses and don’t let you modify registry.
you need first to restart in SAFE MODE to kill all antivirus proceses and then you cand modify registryes as you wish and you need just to change last 3 digits of PCID
The latest method is also not working
Reset method works!! 3 am (GMT + 1) 2010/06/06
Thanks a LOOOOOOT
I salute whoever did this.
Man, I hope you guys be blessed a thousand times for helping students like me who can’t afford to buy licenses and keys.
I promise to buy genuine one’s when the time comes. Till then cheers for this wonder guide! bÜd
IT WORKS!!!
Thanks for the info…
You guys are talented…
Can you do that licenses stuff to **** sites?
anyways…
Thanks again!!!

now it is not working for 2nd time, i have used it once.
It worked just fine with KIS,all i had to do was try the Jan 29 update and i edited the PCID and exited my KIS and restarted it.Voila i have another 30 days of free KIS. Thanks man,you have been of immense help.
Man!
The second idea really works wonders
Thanks a million
I CAN’T CHANGE, DELETE, RENAME and whatever my regedit values. When i try, alert…. WHAT I HAVE DO NOW?
When my kaspersky tries to connect to the net to download new database and it asks for my proxy password I am not able to enter the password box at all. It has happened only since yesterday. looks like they hv figured out a trick to stop us.
i’m using kaspersky antivirus 9.0.0.736
i can’t find PCID in the registry editor, i’m windows 7 user
you guys forgot to enable self-defence and yes i tried it and it works and i am so excited
i achieve my aim as i followed the instructions but also discovered that you left out the part where you enable the self-defence back
The last way of extending the trial period is working (changing PCID).
If someone is having a problem changing registry settings (access denied), you need to restart your computer in Safe Mode with command prompt, start Windows Task Manager by pressing simultaneously CTRL+ALT+DEL. After this from File menu select New Task and type: regedit and press Enter. Change the registry key and restart computer in normal mode.
29 july 2010 works like a charm !!! last methot , it’s very simple, and i didn’t erase the old key
Just disable self-defense, changing the last 3 digidts from PCID, restarted and choosing demo licence or something like that. Great job man , thanks a lot !
KEEP ON GOING !

Try re-installing Kaspersky, and only this time choose to “Activate Later” or whatever. Disable “Self Defense” and then try these registry edits again.
Great! I was serching a lot for this second way! U rox Dud.
Hey guys,
I’m using Windows Vista and I can’t find the path “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Kaspersky Lab > protected > AVP9 ” after opening the registry!
I’m viewing the registry as an admin, yet I’m not able to find the path.
Please help!
I’m using kav11.0.1.400en.
I use “Kaspersky Trial Reset tool” to reset. But not working. Help me, please
Thanks.
Please help me…
I’m waiting for ur valuable inputs…
The PCID method no longer works with KIS 2011. Been trying to find a way around this as Kaspersky obviously figured it out.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love you for this
how can i apply that 4 widows 7
i need to know the code for the PCID i deleted mine by mistake n now i cant get a trial license someone pls help immediately. got kaspersky 2010 version
In the 64-bit version of Windows 7 the hive for KasperskyLab can be found under Wow6432Node (which is the hive for 32-bit applications). The full registry path is as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment
Enjoy
guys this trick still works in 2011 also.
just exit kaspersky before editing registory.
Shout out to “HelpForWindows7Here”. I was scratching my head tryna figure that out. Thanks, it works!
