    Default How to apply new subscription code to Kaspersky in different region

    have got a bit narky about people buying updated subs from overseas cheaper than what we pay in Oz. Lets face it, I am not paying $70+ dollars for something I can get for about $5. What they have done is geo block people when they enter codes. They need to see you in the correct country for activation only. I have used images to make this as clear as possible with text under each image for further instruction and comment.

    The reason Kaspersky has undertaken this measure is that we can buy updates from foreign countries much much cheaper. Obviously you cant charge $70 AUD in an asian possibly third world country, but if we buy it directly from them in their currency and Paypal converts it, we can end up paying $5-$10.







    In the image above, you will see the Kaspersky main page when you open it. Click on the "settings" button as shown in the above image with the arrow.

    Click use Proxy Server. Click use Specified Proxy Server Settings. Enter a valid* proxy server address and port number. The click OK.

    * You can find valid proxy server addresses simply by using Google. Thats all I did in the above example. An example of a site is here . Always use a "fresh proxy" and publicly used proxies usually are only good for a day or 2 before they are killed. Simply, when activated your web traffic is routed through them and wherever they are located is where Kaspersky thinks you are.

    Enter your application code and you are done !

    After you are finished, go back through your settings and turn proxy off. It is no longer required, it was only required for bypassing the geographical check at activation. All updates and virus definitions do not require it.

    Awesome tutorial. Thank you.

    This in principle well known idea to use a proxy to bypass any geographical check works in other situations too.

    Thanks for this. I had a 3pc sub that I bought from Amazon and had posted to a friend there. They emailed me the key and all was fine. About 3 months ago I had to put a new HDD in missus comp and kaspersky hit me with the geographical crap. So I went back to eset nod32. However I'll try this when my current 6 month key runs out.

    Thanks again. Just used this to activate the 2015 version. (even though it's still 2014, I think that's what they're calling it.) Newer version looks a little different, but the technique is the same.

    Crap. Can't edit my post above and add to it.
    Just activated the 2nd computer (3pc's for 1 year) and took a few us proxy servers to get it to connect and work. I used this link.
    Took 3 goes to work. No problems, just said kaspersky couldn't contact the server.

    Yeah, you have to sort through some dead proxies at times as most dont last long. Good to hear its still a process that works.
