Question 3rd party license key enrolled with the seller's gmail account

[Trident]

No, he/they CAN'T. He can do full and quick device scan and disable components and that's all. They can't hack, infect or lock your device, steal passwords or anything malicious. Of course, the seller can remove the buyer's device from MyKaspersky at any time, but they won't do it.

I think the user is enquiring about anti-theft features on Android. Do not enable this when you are not the account owner.

The licenses are genuine, the seller just ''shares'' them with the buyers.

When something is breaching the rules and regulations of the business/provider, it is not genuine.

Of course, but that doesn't make the license/purchased key non-genuine. The key is genuine. What the seller is doing with it is not legit.
edit: There are many stores, mostly Russian, that have been selling very cheap Kaspersky keys for years. The keys work, no complaints from buyers.
Most sellers have a rating 99-100%.

This is also against forum rules.

A "3rd party license key enrolled with the seller's gmail account" is a clear violation of the MalwareTips forum rules against piracy and illegal content. The rules explicitly prohibit members from sharing or requesting "pirated software or content" and posting "warez, cracks, serials, or illegally obtained copyrighted content." A license key that is still linked to the seller's personal email account falls directly into this category, as it represents a form of illegally shared or obtained content rather than a legitimate transfer.

Thread author bought key from 3rd party site, they provided him (scammed him) with such license key, i dont think theres nothing wrong with asking help in this situation

the answer is to buy from reputable sites either from kaspersky or trusted retailers

Kinguin/g2a works well if youre willing to prepare for refund incase seller provides key that is blacklisted, but using those sites is unethical because of people that use illegal ways to obtain such keys/licenses, but there is also trusted sellers that dont belong to this category
^ about this im not sure if im bad person if i buy from such sites, but since they allow paysafecards as buying method its one of the only ways for me personally

But after all i have seen worse stuff happening in MalwareTips forums, than this discussion

I was about to enter the license key on my tablet PC then Kaspersky for Android told me his gmail address would be used. So if I understand correctly, the tablet wouldn't be enrolled in MY mykaspersky account but his.

How risky is this? Can he take control of my device? No banking etc done on it, just my gmail inbox opened and my streaming (netflix, HBO, etc) accounts.

Instead of asking for the correct help, he wants to know how to use the illegally obtained license without facing negative consequences. A clear distinction can be drawn between the two.
