Recently i downloaded kaspersky internet security 2010 version from kaspersky site. I had KIS 2009 already running in my system, upgrading it automaticaly took the alredy installed license during KIS 2010 installation. When i deleted the licence key, i couldnt find activate the application using the key file. There is only for activating using activation code and activate trial. Then a question striked me how do they activate the offline systems ??( machines with no internet connectivity )
so i got trick to activate the app in offline mode
Procedure
1.Dissconnect all the internet connections you have
2.Open Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 window
3.Click on the "Licence" text in the bottom of the widow to bring licence manager
4.Click "Activate new Licence"
5.On the new window select "Activate trial Licence" ( if you cant find this option goto step 6) goto step 8
6.click "cancel" button
7.In Licence manager window delete any licence by clicking on red cross on right side of licence . then proceed with step 4
8.Press "next" button
9.It will show dialog " connecting to activation server..."
10.then it will throw an error with some error message , ignore it click "OK"
11.Surprised there you go now we have file select box asking key file
12.press "Browse" and select your key file
13.Click "Next"
14.If your key file is valid you will have the new licence installed
15.Click "Finish"
The above procedure is tested on Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 version (kis9.0.0.459EN) hope this will be work on similar products like kav 2010 etc
