Few days back i wrote about Kaspersky removing the activation option of its products using keyfile. As i had just the keyfile available with me of the 2009 version whose license was still working for few weeks more , i tried to find if i can activate the license somehow or i tried to search my mails where i had stored the Activation code.
The option of logging into kaspersky account was bit lengthy as i had forgot the user name and password and almost never logged in there since i activated my license. On searching i found another license activation code but that was for Kaspersky 2010 Beta version. I just thought lets see if this works.
When i entered the activation code, it said the license isnt compatible with the product but the screen showed me also the option to browse for the keyfile. I was like delighted as it solved my problem. I will just put all this in a proper step by step instructions here.
1. Click activate license from menu.
Acivate Kaspersky
2. You need to input a valid Kaspersky Beta activation code or valid any other kaspersky product activation code. After that it will say , the license is not valid or its incompatible with the product.
3. You will see a page like in the image below.
Activate Kaspersky keyfile
4. You can now browse to a valid Kaspersky Keyfile to activate your Product.

You are very clever, you should understand what i mean to say ?
well, at first i didnt understand what you wanted to say. So i went through your blog and it seems you are talking about, me copying your article about the key activation of kaspersky?
Which i didnt copied from anywhere. Anyway, i will be writing about another way to use keyfile for activation of kaspersky 2010 products today and i hope you wont say that i copied it from you again.
Well, I mean to say that only. But later on, I realized that I was wrong. This usually happened as the title of both post was same :D
Anyways, I'm eager to know the alternate method.
Hi Mayur,
its nice that your doubt about copying was cleared soon. I don't believe in copying otherwise i would have too many more posts than i have now. Even if i copy something from somewhere , you will find a proper credit is given to original author.
Regarding alternate method, i have already posted it on and perhaps you made a comment there too.
take care and happy blogging
In recent version s of Kaspersky, you cannot get to the key upload screen from an outdated serial number. The only way to do it is by disabling your internet connect and trying to activate a trial license. Then, an error should occur, and then then key upload screen.
1) Go to the license link at the bottom of the Kaspersky main screen.
2) Delete trial license by clicking the red X next to it.
3) Disable your internet connection (outside of Kaspersky).
4) Click activate trial license in the same window.
5) You should get an error telling you that Kaspersky cannot connect to the activation server.
6) Click OK and select your key file.
Thank you for your comment. I Have already talked about this way of activation using keyfile in my other post. Take a look.
