Does this mean that by the end of the year we will be able to upgrade from KASPERSKY TOTAL SECURITY TO KASPERSKY PLUS with the same license at no additional cost?

 

[harlan4096]

We still don't know the terms of the migration and to which product will migrate, but anyway it's good news... since there are a lot of users currently with KTS licences

KIS will do a migration too? @harlan4096

 

[harlan4096]

KIS already has direct migration to K. Standard, just install and use Your KIS licence

Thank you, for the information harlan.

No, I don't know if you remember @harlan4096 or if you are from that time in the late 90s, the first time I saw Kaspersky was at a friend's house 22 years ago, it was known as AVP (Antiviral Toolkit Pro) with a green umbrella icon, good times. It already had a good reputation for being good in detecting malware. I have it in my stuff stored to this day. At the time installed on Windows 98 second edition.

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, of course! The executables of Kaspersky are still avp.exe and avpui.exe indeed!

 

[piquiteco]

@harlan4096 Gee, that's funny, two decades, and I never noticed that, my God, what a thing, it's really the executables avp.exe and avpui.exe that load the GUI remain with the initials AVP

@harlan4096 I am old, the information I have, it seems to me that the first version was 2.0 released in 1994, still under DOS. As far as I know, the company was founded in 1997 if my memory serves me right

Correct @harlan4096 Kaspersky continued to develop the software at KAMI, resulting in the AntiViral Toolkit Pro (AVP) product released in 1992. It was popularized in 1994, after a competitive review by the University of Hamburg gave its software first place

Thank you, for talking to you my friend @harlan4096

Well... I don't know if anyone discussed it somewhere in the forums, but I was able to migrate my KTS to Kaspersky Plus, but without the unlimited VPN.

Yes, They finally added support for migration. It was announced in Kaspersky Community some weeks ago, and was already posted in this forum

So I can now extend my Kaspersky Plus license with entering my KTS license ?

You can use You KTS license to activate new product line Kaspersky Plus, but check this:

Because the migration has its limitations, since You are migrating an inferior product KTS to a Kaspersky Plus, with additional features.

Only when You buy a "pure" new Kaspersky Plus license, you will get the full features.

 

[amirr]

OK, I got this. The best way is also to get the subscription model from kaspersky.com right?

 

[harlan4096]

Kaspersky Security Cloud licenses almost have the same features as K.Plus

 

[Dave Russo]

I have a Kaspersky Total security license good till Aprill 2024, I am currently running Kaspersky plus good for 141 more days, what would happen if I uninstall plus and install Total security?

 

[harlan4096]

Probably, depending on Your country region, Your KTS maybe will be updated to K. Plus at one time in the future...
