Applies to all Kaspersky Lab products
Yes, you can.
During the period when your license is valid you can upgrade the version of the product you have purchased.
Purchasing the Kaspersky Lab product you also purchase the right to use this program during the license key period (1 year usually). The period is defined in the key file or activation code which is provided with the program.
A key file (key) is a file with the key (XXXXXXXX.key)extension. It is ususally embedded in the program and installed together with the program. The Anti-Virus does not function without the key file installed.
Activation code is a charset of 20 symbols; this charset is divided into 4 sections with 5 symbols in each (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX). The activation code should be entered during the installation of the Anti-Virus in order to activate the program.
During the license period you can upgrade the version of the purchased program (as new versions are released). New versions have extended program functions and corrected errors.
For example, you purchased Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations with the license period 1 year. Version 6.0.2.678 was saved on the CD. You installed this version. Some time later Kaspersky Lab released a new version of the product – 6.0.3.837.
If the version was released during your license validity period you can download and install it on your PC with the license key file you have, thus upgrading your Anti-Virus version.
The instructions how to upgrade your product version can be found either in the section of Knowledge Base for this product, or in the file release_notes, which is provided with the distributive of the new version.
