Advice Request Kaspersky Security Cloud

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I've installed USA version and I could activate without issues (I'm in EU)

You must have special Kaspersky skills... I still get the paid version:

@Gandalf_The_Grey
You may want to try the installer from here:
https://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/thank-you/try-free-cloud-antivirus
If it does not work again, here is the installer KSC (english-version) from source above:
UPLOAD.EE - startup_14586.exe - Download

Thanks @silversurfer but I doesn't work for me in The Netherlands.
It was the version I tried before.
I get the same screen as post #21.
Maybe I have to wait for an official dutch version?
Or is it because KFA is already linked to my account?

That's so strange, We are in EU, didn't work for You but did for me... and other users...

Well tried both installers myself, having same problem than you
Only thing i could think is just making fresh account as you just found out yourself

Yeah I know... Not in a hurry KFA because works okay here.

But it works without having to do that for others... still confused.

Did you download the "Global" or the "The European Union" version?

I chose the Global option.

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I chose the Global option.

Thanks, tried the same option and even got the file from @silversurfer but it doesn't work on my system or with my Kaspersky Account.
We will see if Kaspersky keeps 2 versions in the near future KFA and KSCF or there will be 1 free version. For now KFA works okay for me.

I used the below link (product comparison and download):
https://www.kaspersky.com/free-cloud-antivirus#compare
Installed and created the account without any problem.

Thanks, finally got it working, somehow. I guess it is a hit or miss. But since using it is illegal, I will not, but it good to know, there is an alternative to KFA, which can be configured. By default it takes 300 MB (150/150), after disabling everything, except File-Shield, it is around 250MB, but CPU/HDD is quite high, but that is understandable considering, that it is a cloud AV. Still Panda AV is lighter, though useless, so whatever.

... But since using it is illegal, I will not...

Is it illegal in your country?

 

[TairikuOkami]

Is it illegal in your country?

KAV states, that it is not intended to be used in EU, so I guess using it breaks the TOS and it is basically warez.

I do not think that this is true for Kaspersky Cloud Security free. Before installing the customer is allowed to choose the right location. The Installation is made from the Kaspersky website. There is a note related to EU customers:
"If you are in the territory of the European Union (EU) and/or plan to use the software in the territory of the EU, then you must select the “The European Union” from the drop-down menu in order to download the software intended for use in the EU. This will ensure you download the software compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)."

Yes, but if you choose EU, the licence will not activate and it will link you to buy the licence.

No, I tried it also with EU install option and there were no problems. I think that with KAV, the user should uninstall it and create the new account.

Downloaded and installed the EU version with a new account,everything is fine.
Im planning to see how it behaves for a few days....if something goes wrong,back to the macrium image with KAV free.
