Kaspersky Antivirus Licenses

There are three main secure options:

1. Kaspersky official website

   • Purchase directly from the manufacturer.

   • The licence is linked to your My Kaspersky account or sent by email.

2. Authorised retailers and certified stores

   • Shops specialising in software licences, with a valid VAT number, clear location and customer support.

   • Secure payments (e.g. card, PayPal, etc.) and transparent refund policies.

3. Mr Key Shop (digital licence retailer)

   Offers original Kaspersky licences with:

   • Immediate digital delivery via email (no waiting, no physical boxes).

   • Activation key + secure link to download Kaspersky software.

   • Step-by-step instructions for installation and activation.

   • 100% secure payments (SSL, major payment circuits, often including PayPal).

   • Free technical support in case of download or activation issues.

When evaluating where to buy:

Check that the website:

• Is protected by HTTPS/SSL.

• Has verified reviews (e.g. Trusted Shops, Google Reviews, etc.).

• Clearly states who the company is (company name, contact details, terms and conditions of sale).

Be wary of:

• Prices that are too low compared to the market.

• Offers such as ‘lifetime’ or ‘global key’ that are not clearly explained.

• Marketplace sellers with no history or real feedback.

At Mr Key Shop, you will only find original licences, with invoices and support: this minimises the risk of deactivated or non-compliant keys.

After purchase, you will receive the following via email:

• Kaspersky activation key (alphanumeric code).

• Secure link to download the software Kaspersky in the correct version.

• Simplified installation and activation guide.

• Contact details for free technical support if something goes wrong during download or activation.

This gives you everything you need to download, install and activate Kaspersky securely, without having to search for files or installers from unofficial sources.

A Kaspersky account (also called My Kaspersky) is a free online account that allows you to manage all your Kaspersky products from a single dashboard: licences, devices, subscriptions and additional security features.

With a My Kaspersky account, you can:

• Manage protected devices: see which PCs, Macs and smartphones are protected, check the protection status and start scans or updates remotely (where supported).
• Manage licences and subscriptions: check the expiry date, number of devices covered and renew your protection.
• Download Kaspersky products: you can download the official installer for the product you have purchased from the portal at any time.
• Protect smartphones and tablets: on mobile devices, you can use features such as location tracking, remote locking and, if necessary, data deletion in case of theft or loss.
• Use Kaspersky Password Manager: securely store and synchronise passwords, card details and other sensitive information (if included in your purchased plan).
• Receive support and notifications: Access Kaspersky support more easily and view important security and product communications.

If you purchase a Kaspersky licence from Mr Key Shop, you will receive the following by email:

• Original activation key
• Secure link to download Kaspersky software
• Instructions for activating and linking the licence to your Kaspersky account (My Kaspersky)

This allows you to:

• install your Kaspersky product securely,
• activate it with the key you receive,
• and manage the protection of all your devices directly from your My Kaspersky account, keeping track of licences, expiry dates and security status.

To reset your Kaspersky account password (My Kaspersky), follow these steps. The procedure is valid regardless of where you purchased your licence (even if you purchased it from Mr Key Shop: the password is always for your Kaspersky account, not the shop).

How to reset your Kaspersky account password

1. Go to the My Kaspersky portal
2. Click on ‘Forgot your password?’ (or ‘Password forgotten?’).
3. Enter your account email address and confirm to receive a reset code or link via email.
4. Open your email inbox (check your Spam/Junk folder as well). Look for the message sent by Kaspersky with the confirmation code or the link to reset your password.
5. Set a new password
6. Confirm and log in again

If you have enabled two-step verification (2FA)

If you have enabled two-step verification on your account, after resetting your password, the system may also ask you for:

• a code via SMS, or
• a code generated by an authentication app (e.g. Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator).

Enter the code to complete the login process.

Common problems and solutions

You are not receiving the reset email

• Check that you are using the correct email address associated with your account.
• Also check your Spam / Junk Mail folder.
• If you used social login (Google / Apple / Facebook), you may not have a ‘classic’ password to reset: in that case, log in using the same social method.

‘User not found’ message

• Check that the account was not created with another email address
• You are trying an address that has never been registered with Kaspersky.

You purchased the licence from Mr Key Shop

• Nothing changes for the reset: the password is always managed from the My Kaspersky portal.

• Mr Key Shop provides you with the original activation key and often the secure link to download the software, but the account and password remain under the direct control of Kaspersky.

• Still unable to reset your password? Contact Mr Key Shop support.

In 2026, Kaspersky simplified its offering into three progressive plans:

• Standard: this is essential protection (the successor to Anti-Virus and Internet Security). It includes real-time antivirus, anti-phishing and optimisation tools.
• Plus: adds unlimited VPN, Password Manager and data leak monitoring (Data Leak Checker). It is the ideal choice for those who use Office 2024 or do a lot of remote browsing.
• Premium: the complete suite. Includes identity protection, priority IT support and one year of Parental Control Safe Kids to protect minors.

Absolutely. All licences purchased on Mr Key Shop are fully compatible with Windows 11 (64-bit versions) and the latest versions of macOS, including systems with Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3, M4). The software is optimised so as not to slow down the system when using heavy software.

Yes. Unlike other antivirus programmes that limit daily traffic (e.g. 200MB/day), the Kaspersky Plus and Premium plans offer unlimited, fast VPN. This allows you to browse anonymously, unblock geo-restricted content, and protect your data on public Wi-Fi networks, with performance comparable to a dedicated licence.

This feature constantly scans the web's black markets for your personal data (email addresses, telephone numbers, credit card numbers). If your data is found in a compromised database, Kaspersky will send you an immediate alert with instructions on how to secure your accounts.

No, Kaspersky security is linked to your My Kaspersky account. Once you have activated the key received from Mr Key Shop, simply log in with your credentials on the new device or after formatting. The system will recognise your active licence and restore protection automatically.

Yes, it integrates scanning engines based on Machine Learning that identify never-before-seen zero-day threats. These tools analyse file behaviour in real time, blocking ransomware or polymorphic malware attacks before they can damage your files or personal documents.

Today, security extends to the Smart Home. Using the Kaspersky console (Standard, Plus or Premium), you can monitor your Wi-Fi network and detect intrusions into devices such as IP cameras, smart thermostats or voice assistants. If an unauthorised device attempts to connect, you will receive an immediate notification on your mobile app, allowing you to block access and protect your home privacy.

Yes, thanks to the My Kaspersky portal. After purchasing a multi-device licence on Mr Key Shop, you will not need to enter the code on each PC or smartphone. Simply send an installation link or scan a QR code from the device you want to protect: the software will automatically configure itself by connecting to your main account, centralising the management of expiry dates and notifications.

Yes, Kaspersky is considered one of the most secure and transparent antivirus programmes in the world. Despite past geopolitical discussions, the company responded with the Global Transparency Initiative, moving its data processing centres and source code transparency to Switzerland (Zurich).

Here's why you can trust Kaspersky:

• To ensure maximum neutrality and security, European user data is processed in Swiss data centres, which are subject to extremely strict privacy laws.
• Kaspersky is the only antivirus manufacturer that allows partners and governments to review its source code at dedicated Transparency Centres.
• It continues to dominate independent tests (such as AV-Comparatives and AV-TEST), regularly achieving the highest score for malware detection and the lowest number of false positives.
• The versions sold on Mr Key Shop include advanced tools such as webcam protection, web tracking blocking and encrypted VPN, ensuring that your data remains private and inaccessible to third parties.
