Transferring Kaspersky license a new PC
Here is how to transfer Kaspersky license from one PC to another.
Step 1: On your old PC from where you want to transfer the Kaspersky license, uninstall Kaspersky Antivirus, Internet Security, or Total Security.
You can uninstall Kaspersky like any other software, but if you are having issues, use the official Kaspersky Removal Tool.
While uninstalling Kaspersky, although not necessary, we recommend you connect your PC to the internet so that Kaspersky Lab will come to know about the uninstallation of its product from your PC.
Step 2: Once the Kaspersky is removed from your PC, download a fresh copy of Kaspersky Antivirus, Internet Security or Total Security. We recommend you download the setup file only from Kaspersky and not from unknown sources.
Step 3: Install the Kaspersky product on your new computer. Once the installation is complete, you will see the Activation window where you need to enter the license code.
Type the 20-character license code you have with you in the fields. Finally, click the Activate button to connect to the Kaspersky Lab servers and activate your product.
Remember that it’s not possible to activate your Kaspersky product when your PC is offline. So be sure to connect your PC to the internet while entering the activation code.
