Install your fresh download of Kaspersky, and open it up. If anything asks you to activate the product choose "Activate Later". This also works even if you have a key already installed, just delete the key and follow these steps. In the pictures I'm using Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010, but this hack will work for any of them, including Internet Security, from 2008 and up. Now before you get any farther I suggest completely disconnecting from the internet. It's not necessary, but it is highly advisable until you get your security programs installed. And when I say completely I mean rip that ethernet out of that router, and lay it on the floor. Better safe then sorry.
Once you have Kaspersky installed, we need to take care of a few problematic settings before we can do the hack for your new lifetime license. Go into the settings and uncheck the "Enable Protection" box under Protection.
Next uncheck "Enable Self Defense" and "Disable external service control" under Options.
Once you apply these new settings you'll get a pop up box saying "Protection is disabled". Or if in 2010 you may get one like the above picture saying "Connections Terminated" with a countdown timer if you're still connected to the internet. If you get the 2nd just click "No" and then continue with the hack. You need to turn off those settings in order to be able to preform the hack otherwise Kaspersky blocks the changes and you wont get the key. This is why you disconnected from the internet earlier, so that for any reason if you did have a virus or some type of malware it won't be able to do as much since most of them try to send information over the web.
Next go toC:\WINDOWS\system32\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP8\environmentHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environmentHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment
Now exit out of the registry editor and open up Kaspersky again. Nothing seems to have changed right? Still says "License Not Found" and you can't update yet. We just gotta take care of 2 more things first, the same 2 things I had you do at the beginning. Yep, time to check the "Enable Protection" box.
Close the Kaspersky window and go down to the system tray and right click the Kaspersky logo. Choose Activate, and a new window should appear.
Kaspersky has just given you your very own activation key straight from their servers! Forget having to search online for a new one every month, and having to download the files (I know key files are like 5kb to download but it's the morals behind it), then extract them, and then install them just to know that you're gonna have to do this all over again next month. Never again, every month you just have to click "Activate beta version" and Kaspersky will give you a new key each time! FOR LIFE
