KAS 7, 3 year license, raise your hand.

[trjam]

The 3 year license a lot of you recieved for purchasing Memory Zipper, have any of you been able to get the RC2 beta to accept it. I bet you havent.:ouch:

[lodore]

Hello Jeff,
not many people have had any type of normal kaspersky license to work in RC2
most people at the KL forums are using the trial code for now.
lodore

[C.S.J]

f' it to kaspersky, i tried the 7, it still has all the same problems as 6, but with a different gui.

hmm, the quicker i can get rid of my unwanted licence, the better.

back to the ps3 :)

[plantextract]

problems such as?

[C.S.J]

emails, extracting files, browsing, website certificates.....

kaspersky, just dont agree with my laptops.

[plantextract]

no problem with browsing here, as for website cetificates, there's not much that can be done, if you want to scan the stream you have to intercept the certificates (i don't know of any other program which scans https steams to see if it's possible without invalidating the certificate).

[lodore]

@Jeff,
try your three year kaspersky license in the new 7.0.0.119 rc3 build
lodore

[ph2000]

>> try your three year kaspersky license in the new 7.0.0.119 rc3 build

No good.
I'm suspecting it will not work on the finished product - they may still honor it but I'd bet it won't wok automatically.

[ogy]

Runs like a charm on my laptop :thumb:

My license is not accepeted too.
Mybe it will work only on v6

[Don Pelotas]

Codes bought for 6.0 will work on this, keys bought for 5.0 will not, my guess is that those which cannot use their key on 7.0 is in this catagory and most have bought a cheap discounted key. I would contact support when 7.0 is released.

[The_Duality]

Im using the KAV 7 RC3 and my license key works fine! I think they may have fixed the problem. The new RC was released today.

[thehudd]

While RC3 is running smoothly, I had to use a trial key. Would not accept the three year license from Systweak or a key purchased directly from Kaspersky, both of which work fine on KIS6. Here's hoping the final release will have this fixed.

[Hezakiah]

I'm having the same problem also. I have the Systweak 3 year key and it will not work. Not happy. :(

[Crappopotamus]

lets not push any panic buttons until we see a non-beta release.

[sunrise]

-{ Quote: "lets not push any panic buttons until we see a non-beta release." }-

I agree, its still early. in the KL forums, there are people who cant use their normal purchase keys to work in the V7 RC as well. I believe KL knows about this issue and is definitely working on it. As for the 3 years key, be it cheap discounted key etc or normal price key, i believe they will honour it in terms of upgrade etc, as nothing was mention about the restrictions during the purchasing process. This is between KL and their resellers. not end users. Just my opinion.

[trjam]

I will wager to bet, those Memory Zipper codes we bought, will not work with KAS7 when it is released.:'(

[The Hammer]

I don't recommend anybody buy more than a one year licence for anybodys product.

Very good advice

[ogy]

3 year license was not mentioned on Systweak's website.

the more people think like this, the cheaper it will get for us all :D

-{ Quote: "I will wager to bet, those Memory Zipper codes we bought, will not work with KAS7 when it is released." }-

a licence, no matter the price... is still a licence.

[trjam]

I agree Chris, but my worry is, there was no supporting documentation like when you buy from the vendor. As stated 2 threads up, buyers didnt even know it was for 3 years. . First we went through the short period for Kaspersky and the seller to rectify the legitamacy issues of the licenses. I am sure Kaspersky said to themselves, sure we will honor them for 3 years. 3 years of KIS 6. And in the end this is the case, you really cant fault them. I just have a gut feeling about this and I do hope I am wrong.

[BlueZannetti]

Folks,

There's one place that this can be unambiguously answered, and that's at the Kaspersky forum.

A license is a license, but the specific language of the pertinent license is what matters. If the product is rebadged in any way - and any way means something as minor as a second vendor logo applied to it - you're not really dealing with KL directly anymore. You're dealing with the rebadged vendor and the license they supply. It's not unusual for this circumstance to provide continuing support (i.e. signatures) but not new engine upgrades.

As with any commercial dealing, assume nothing. The only things that matter are the explicitly written terms provided by the vendor that received your payment.

Blue

[EliteKiller]

Let's look on the bright side shall we? Wait until KAV/KIS 7.0 is RTM before making any assumptions about the Systweak 3yr codes, or any other code that you may own. Even if it doesn't work we only paid $18.95 for a one year KIS 6.0 subscription, and the extra 2 years was an added bonus. Kaspersky support has verified on a couple of occasions that the Systweak codes are 100% legit. So unless your code gets blacklisted there is no reason that it won't work on 7.0 IMO, and if you have a problem email Kaspersky support for assistance.

I have to agree the newest version has caused some major concern so I removed them from all my machines for now , except my wifes, I have Nod32 running but I'm looking for a new AV & actually AVG looks not too bad...

[trjam]

Anyone get a return email from Kaspersky support yet? Nope? Didnt think so. SOL, all of us.

None yet. Does not look good but let us see.

[QBgreen]

I truly hope that KL shows we Systweak bargain hunters some love. KIS7 TR is running like a dream on my machine, swift and nimble surfing. Not noticing any slowdown with my 20 MBPS cable connection.

[trjam]

Well I hope they do. As Chris said, "A license is a license." But I think this is Kaspersky way of evening the score for this mess. Part of me does not blame them. I mean if I had just shelled out full price, I would be very unhappy. But they did ok it in the end and by not coming through would do them more harm then the 100 or more free licences they gave away at CastleCops.

[sunrise]

Now tht the KIS 7 is now TR, i have just send a request support via the personal cabinet regarding the 3 yr key activation for KIS 7. let's see what the reply will be..

Can anyone give me the actual link to where on Kaspersky's website we may convert Systweak code
into a commercial keyfile ?

Or do we have to only email to support /helpdesk ?

KL support just replied me...I have the 3 yrs key too. Their reply was to ask me to direct this question to Unistal instead....:(

I remember Unistal saying a few months back that the upgrade "should" be free (not speaking of this offer directly, but since it was about another product which also had KIS bundled, well) :-\

The problem is that in this case the Systweak keys are licensed to HCL. I hope Unistal doesn't tell people to contact HCL about this. It depends largely upon whether HCL would allow version upgrades. Typically, in bundled AVs, as long as database remains the same product upgrades are not handled by the PC vendor (in India).

@Don Pelotas: Keys bought for 5.0 will not work? :o
Does this mean people who purchased multi year license for 5.0 when it was the latest are not going to get the upgrade to 7.0? :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o
Strange thing is, Kaspersky should know the answer to this question. But if things turn out the BAD way, there's an excellent sales opportunity for Kaspersky to introduce a discounted upgrade price.

[sunrise]

Well,

i have send an email to Unistal, (unistal@unistal.com), now waiting to see their reply, but perhaps like what u said, may ask me to refer to HCL. then HCL ask to refer to KL lol... anyway, whatever it is, it is then. 3 yrs for KIS 6 im fine..very soon now, with the launch of KIS 7, ESS will be out pretty soon too. and after using 1 yr plus/2 yrs of KIS 6, then its a good time to see which bundle is the best in terms of value between KL and ESS. judging from the pricing now, seems KL is definitely above my means, 1 year license selling at 50 EUR....

[SKA]

Sincere thanks to both ankupan & zapjb !

[trjam]

Well I just got a email from Kaspersky support where I asked the following,"Will the 3 year license to KIS I bought from Systweak for purchasing their product Memory Zipper, be good with Kaspersky version 7 when it is released." They will change out the key, but you need to wait.

And they said,"Hi,

Yes, you can upgrade your 6.0 to 7.0 for free.

Blanked out by me.

People who bought a multi year license from v5 on are able to use the license for version 7. The only problem is that the key itself is somewhat different so kaspersky needs to change these keys to v7. Offcourse upgrades are free

So if they are telling us to contact uninstal, then KL may already know that those $19 keys aren't working by someone's design. More time goes along I'm thinking that license was for 6 and only 6.

[trjam]

Read my post above, they are going to replace them, but I would wager not before official release.:)

If the above is the full text of the email they sent back, then I see nothing that completely addresses the issue at hand. Of course a 6 -> upgrade should be free, but I see nothing that says they will change the key out for us systweak people..

[SKA]

Well Crapo...s

You have 2 ways to activate KAV/KIS:

a] use activation code (that you get on purchase) in Service - Update(or similiar) menu in main KAV/KIS screen,

OR

b] convert code into a keyfile by enter your email address,& your country here(thanks to ankupan & zapjb) :

https://activation.kaspersky.com/

In this case you get a download link for a zipfile that contains your keyfile & your Customer ID, password to
login in future for renewal etc.

You may use either method a] or b] for your Systweak code after version 7x is released, which its not as yet.

Presently your code should work with KAV/KIS 6x, which is latest released version.

HTH,but pls note I'm just a user ,not a dealer/rep for KAV.

SKA

[trjam]

If you have one of the infamous Systeak licences, it will be honored, when, the suite is officially released. Kaspersky is not going to forget us cheapos. They have every intention of honoring them. So continue to try the beta out with the trial key or keep using 6. Thanks Kaspersky for the great support.:)

[huntnyc]

@trjam

Running 7 smooth as ice but still just a little lag on surfing. However, too much features in it to give it up. Great program and great confirmation again that our keys will be changed so we can use it as free upgrade. Thanks again to you for checking and to KL for a great piece of software.

Gary

[trjam]

Hey Gary, try not adding web scanning and add Sandboxie. The best of both worlds.:)

I can run that with Opera 9 can't I? if so, will download and try. never used it but thanks for reminder.

Back to the original post title, so where do we all stand on this? I've heard KL will be giving new keys, but nowhere do I see that in firm writing, just a note from tech support saying "6 to 7 should be free". BUT in my goodly number of years on the internets I also know most companies read about half of what you write to them before firing off a reply (if one comes at all).

I see talk of the activation link being used for codes and key-making, well I have a key from my activation code.

Anyone that TRULY knows what is up with all this? TR has been out for a few days now so some info must be available from KL. I've received no reply in 2 days so I can't contribute, sadly.

I'm sorry for this situation that all users who have a Systweak key are facing. I did contact a sales person at Unistal regarding this issue but so far have not received any reply. Now I feel like a useless pig, because I am unable to get a proper response despite living in the same country as Unistal due to which contacting them was easier. I will let you know if I get anything, but until then I can only advise patience. :(

Don't feel bad, you can't force someone/someplace to take action.. DO wish KL or someone would come public about it, as I know there were A WHOLE BUNCH of licenses sold, more than just have posted here.

why are ppl panicking?

a key is a key, its unique and valid......

and there has been no word from kaspersky that they will stop certain licences from a free upgrade.

[trjam]

Geez, I must be invisible. Again, I have been assured with 2 emails from specific people, the actavation code will work once the official release is done. I not posting the emails here, well, unless it isnt true, but Kaspersky is not going to leave anyone hanging. They gain a lot more honoring them, then they would by not. Rest easy people.

You will not get a date.................in fact any date you read about you can ignore it because it is not one made by anyone who knows.

I honestly can't say for sure, it may be older type keys, it may be "Ebaykeys" etc etc and lets not forget the cracked keys. I've had users contact me with keys they say are genuine and they can't use them and when support takes a look at them, it turns out to be cracked keys, they may not even know they bought such a key, they just found a great discount somewhere outside official channels and yes, i do not have any systweak keys, only codes bought through the official shop.

The best thing is to contact support if your key

when i tried to contact kaspersky labs support via email they said that i should contact Unistal Systems and Kaspersky Lab don't support licenses from Unistal Systems :(

[JerryM]

Seems to be some conflicting information regarding this. Without re-reading the thread I recall that someone contacted Kaspersky and the result that it would be supported.

I did convert my systweak code to a Kaspersky key, and see no reason why it won't work. However, at the present time I have 3.5 months on my AntiVir Premium, and do not want to uninstall it and go through the exercise to see if the Kaspersky license will work.

I am fairly confident it will work, but if not I do not blame Kaspersky, and won't jump off the Empire State Building. :)
Best,
Jerry

[cupez80]

i hope it work too cause i think it still valid Kaspersky key although it given by Unustal System for free.

[JerryM]

I tried my Systweak key and the key from the Kaspersky activation tonight, but the answer was that the key was not for "this application."
Since I am using KIS 7, I wonder if that is the reason.???

I sent an email, as probably some of you have, and asked it the key was for any Kaspersky application. I was polite, and do not consider that it is Kaspersky's fault if the key is worthless. I hope to get a reply in a day or so. In the meantime I'll just use the KIS 7 trial and see how it runs on my laptop.

In any case, it is not of any great importance, but we can hope can't we?;D
Somehow I don't find myself angry with Systweak either. Who knows how the situation occurred? Just one of those things that we encounter from time to time.

Jerry

[Macstorm]

Thanks for the info, Jerry :thumb:

[Crappopotamus]

I differ a bit on the statement "it's not Kaspersky's fault".... They approved the vendor (whitelist), and we have emails saying "your key is not in danger of being blacklisted, you are fine". They are the ones that are apparently going to say 'yay or nay' on whether we systweak people are stuck at v6 or not..

If they are going to put us out in the cold, the VERY least they could do is offer us folks a 50% off a 3yr sub or at the very least 1yr.

I know nothing is set in stone, but it not working with the 123 release kind of sounds like the large lady is warming up backstage to me.

That being said if they don't fix the problem or at least offer a very nice deal for people like us/me, then there are plenty of other packages out there, including what seems to sound like a very nice NIS2008 coming around the bend.

I think the problem is Systweak may have gotten KIS6 only keys, not the standard KIS keys. Systweak even mentioned free KIS6 specifically with a purchase, and not just free KIS in general.

[hollywoodpc]

Oh dear . I hate to step in but , I must . KL informed me that my activation is a good activation . The key it makes is a VALID 3 year for KIS7 . It will NOT work until KIS7 is OFFICIALLY released ! If , for some reason it does not work then , I am to contact KL to get a new key . Very simple . Relax guys . RELAX

[JerryM]

The reply I received today from KL stated,
The product you are using is supported by Unistal Systems Pvt. Ltd. company.

I have contacted Uninstal to see if they will provide a key.

hollywoodpc, although they did not make the same reply to me, it might be that the key is not good until V7 is released. I'll try it again.
FWIW, I did contact the complaint manager of KL and asked for reconsideration. We'll see what that does.

Hopefully between Uninstal and KL I/we will end up with a key that will work for the 3 year KIS. ???

If all comes back negative, I'll just forget it.

Regards,
Jerry

[Crappopotamus]

Being that the beta key I had for 7 expired and all this hoo-ha I uninstalled all KIS7 the other day and put on a 90-day trial of nis2007. By then either KIS7 will be accepting the key and have any release day bugs resolved or norton will come public with a usable nis2008 beta.

hollywoodpc, although they did not make the same reply to me, it might be that the key is not good until V7 is released. I'll try it again.
FWIW, I did contact the complaint manager of KL and asked for reconsideration. We'll see what that does.

Hopefully between Uninstal and KL I/we will end up with a key that will work for the 3 year KIS. ???

If all comes back negative, I'll just forget it.

[JerryM]

Uninstal replied that they do not sell KIS 7, and do not support it. They advised me to install KIS 6 and if I have trouble to contact them.
It may be that when KIS 7 is officially on the KL site that the key might work, or Uninstal might then sell V7.

If in the next three weeks, when my trial of KIS 7 expires I will install V6, and see how that works.

There are some good options, so I will just continue to march, and see what develops.

Well, yup, kaspersky support reply me saying the 3 yrs is OEM v6 key, as such, any issues etc is from unistal. they dun support it. At least there is a confirmation, instead of the past, guess and waiting.

so its v6 for maybe the next 2 yrs unless the fixes/patches for v6 (still yet to release the fix for unable to autio update if set to high security, but fix in v7...) is no longer release or supported...guess have to look for alternative suites. :(

I had asked KL support to reconsider their position that they would not support it. I got a response telling me to apply to KL Sales.
I have done so, and hopefully will get a response in the next day or so.

I have 3 year Kasperky Kys for the First 5 People to Call my Number and tell me I'm Brilliant ;D the Next 10 people can have them a $500 a Key 8)

Oh! by the way, you have to guess my number too, or the price goes up to $1000 :P

[JerryM]

I have been trialling KIS7, and the trial would have lasted until the 25th. However, I got curious and removed it and installed the latest version of V6. The key worked, and the license is good until 2010. It shows it as a commercial key.

I guess we'll have to wait until KIS/KAV 7 is on the US market, and I may try to use it on the V7 again. I kinda think it will work after introduction of V7.

KIS 7 ran perfectly, and so far V6 is running well on my laptop, but have only had it on a couple of hours.

Hi optigrab,
Those that know are not telling. I just got impatient to learn if the key would work at all. I got the answer, and it was the right one for V6. It is hard to imagine that V7 will not be on the US market within a couple of weeks, but what do I know?????

Unless some major change of the marketing plan has happened, then i'm afraid that the marketing release in the US is more than two weeks away.

Thanks, Don,
Since I found that my key works, I am content to wait for whatever time. I am finding that V6 is running well, and I figure that I am as safe with it as V7.

Thanks again for the help.:thumb:

cant let this thread die. I still think and have a good feeling that Kaspersky will do the right thing for us, when V7 is released. A real good feeling in them.;)

Decided to check.
And raising my hand -

just installed the 7x.125 version and it activated with the 3 year license in question.

Thanks,

[lu_chin]

Just checked but my 3 year license still did not work.

[BrainWarp]

My 3 year will not work also.Will hope for the best or i will just stick with what i have.I'm not one for waisting much money on computer software.:o

[JerryM]

I just installed the latest KIS 7 and the Systweak key worked. :thumb: :thumb:

I am not sure why all would not work, but I am pleased that all is working well. Good for the three years. I guess the sky did not fall after all.;D

Maybe it is a time thing, and it might work in a day or so. Hopefully all will work.

[cupez80]

Its works now :D just convert again your activation code into keyfile. before Owner was set to HCL but now no owner :D

[Sjoeii]

Good to hear.
Well done

[lu_chin]

Yes, it worked after I regenerated the keyfile from the activation code.

Thank you all.

[ASM]

Look like the upgrading is by phase... so if it work for some of us here, it would work for all of us here... and Version 7 is like comet coming near to us...

Watch out...

[trjam]

Outstanding.

[ASM]

Its work for me too...

Thanks Kaspersky and Thanks you guys to keep the thread alive.:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Converted my serial to key file, eagerly awaiting the final English release! Is it here yet!? ;D

[zapjb]

Good.

[ph2000]

I also used the activaton code and user ID to get it to work. I didn't try the key file. (Yes, I am in the US). The last version I played with was the one prior to 124 (maybe 118 or 119).

Thanks, Paul. You got us started in the right direction. I was going to wait until V7 was on the market, but I am glad to get it sooner.;D

Even better - it's seems to be working well and I figured the out one problem I had (finally created a rule which worked).

-{ Quote: "Even better - it's seems to be working well and I figured the out one problem I had (finally created a rule which worked)." }-

I had some problems with KAV 6 after MP1, and finally removed it. I did put KIS 6 on my laptop, and it worked well.
Subsequently, I put KAV 7 on my desktop, and now KIS 7 on the laptop. I believe the problems I experienced with V6 have been corrected, and I am very pleased with what I have experienced so far.

I did take the opportunity to test some other AVs. I found a few that worked well and in which I had confidence, including AntiVir Premium, F-Secure, NOD, and Avast.
While I could be satisfied with any of those, I like Kaspersky the best and am pleased that it is working well. With a year remaining on my KAV, and the three years on KIS 7, I don't intend to do any AV shopping for awhile.
I also have a boxed copy of KAV 6, and hope that in a year I can use that license to renew KAV.

Jerry

Very interesting. The key I got when I registered the activation code would not work, but the activation code would. Oh well, I'm up and running. Good work to all. This was with 125, didn't try it with earlier versions (just using the activation code that is).

Same here.

Maybe this method can work for my KPSS 1 (KIS5) subscription but I haven't got an activation code. I only have a key. Can I found that activation code inside the key file? If yes, how?

[huntnyc]

Do you mean you converted your activation code a second time and got a second key? I already converted my once with version 6 but that key doesn't work but activation code does.

Should I try to get a second conversion of activation code to a new key and see if that key works with version 7? I would like a key instead of just the code.

Yes, you can do that. I don't think they limit you on how many times you can convert.

Got a new key from reactivation, but cant try yet, not able to download the KIS 7 from the ftp kaspersky..seems to be down.:(

Edit: Yup, the 3 year key works! ;D fannnnntastic!

[QBgreen]

Hazah! Now running KIS 7.0.0.125 fully registered for three years! Well, the 994 days left on this registration to be accurate! ;D Gotta say it again, that was a well spent $18!

BTW, it's firing on all cylinders, and I'm not experiencing any checkdisk nastiness as expressed by some unfortunates in that other thread! The previous network gaffs are gone, am flying at full tilt boogie with my 20 MBPS cable connection. Kudos to KL.

[Crappopotamus]

sniff sniff -- what's this I read? I don't need to spend the $$ for NIS now.. now to find that link to get 125..

Smooth resolution to this Kaspersky.

[petev1975]

Thanks for the update guys. Very Helpful.

Question: How does KIS 7.0.125 in Vista compare to KIS 6.0? I am very hesitant to switch to 6.0. Since I have installed KIS 6, I've not had 1 virus/spyware/leak test problems. Is it worth it to switch to KIS 7?

Added: Link for KIS 7.0.125 (ftp://kav2006:Fynb02dbhec60@data.kaspersky.com)

"The ship has sunk" means a venture has failed. On the other hand the Systweak promotion was quite successful while it lasted, hence the ship has sailed away now, i.e. moved out of our reach. ;)

[Crappopotamus]

for those that lost/deleted their original activation code , you can email systweak and get it resent to you. After it looked like we had been shafted, I deleted all things kaspersky and systweak from my HD, including the emails.

Wrote them the other day and explained and they had record of it, sent me the kaspersky 6 activation code, went back and plugged it into the license server and it spit out a v7-compatible key for me.

Bonus is that it gave me a full 3yrs from that day, even though I had already used the code back in late March. No complaints now.

[nixie21]

Yes, received my activation key from systweak this morning, excellent response time, 1 1/2 days to get the code sent to me again!

I don't recall that I used the activation key from the KL site conversion. I just used the key provided by Systweak. Have you tried that? I also do not remember in which block I entered it when registering. You might try it.

I also got such a message from KL Support. I did contact Uninstal, and they replied that they did not sell V7, and to install V6. Further if I had problems with V6 to contact them.
As it has turned out I was able to use the key that Systweak sent me on KIS 7.

I had earlier asked KL Support to reconsider so that I could use the key for KIS 7, and they told me to contact KL Sales which I did. I did not get a reply, but my key worked on V7.

Have you tried the key that Systweak sent you? If not please do, and if you have tried it I would contact Sales as I was told to do. In the end I am sure you will be able to get KIS 7.

I emailed systweak and told them when I ordered and gave them email address and home address and they emailed me my activation key, entered it on Kaspersky site and got a new key for KIS 7 no problems.

[JerryM]

-{ Quote: "Hey jerry

That was the response I got until I went through the process I mentioned. I thought that maybe it was not good until V7 was on the US market, but evidently that was not the problem since I now have V7.

My suggestion would be to go to either KL Sales or again to Support and ask them to reconsider their answer since it is a valid commercial key.

Hopefully you can get it resolved soon. I ran KIS6 for awhile, and the key works OK for that. Some of these things defy logic, or at least my logic.

Maybe the method nixie used might be the best.

Kaspersky made all of these licences work with V7. If yours isnt, then Kaspersky has done an about face in less then a few days. I find that hard to beleive. The problem isnt with Systweak, but Kaspersky and they are the only ones that can resolve it.

Yes, as stated earlier in the thread take the key-code supplied by Systweak and input it at the activation site: https://activation.kaspersky.com/ the key name should be the same but if you check the MD5's they are different. This is what worked on this pc mentioned. HTH

Hi likuidkewl,

I was about to try the Systweak key, and at the KL site I note that the download is for 3 user for one license.
I wonder if the key will work for that? It might not, but I have the download I got on the ftp site. It worked on my other computer.

Thanks,

Howdy - Last night I uninstalled KIS 6 running the 3 year Systweak key, and installed KIS 7. I then entered the original Systweak activation key and clicked on "Activate". Contact with the server was made and then I had a fully functional KIS 7 with 3 year license.

Good value! Hat's off to Kaspersky - all seems to be running smoothly.
