Kaspersky Antivirus license version for free.(freebies)

Kaspersky have a partnership with hardware manufacturer ASUS and provides its Anti-Virus 2013 free for 1 year to owners of the high end Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) range of motherboards.

If you do not own an ASUS ROG motherboard, attempting to install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 using their setup installer will fail with the error message “Error has Occurred. Application was not installed. Digital signature of installation files is missing”. After a bit of time and research I’ve come up with a way to install and activate the ROG edition using the standard antivirus package for ALL users, not just those who have Asus ROG motherboards. This isn’t done using cracks or keygenerators, just common sense and logic. Here’s the steps how to do it.

1. First off, if you don’t already have it, you will need to download and install the 7-Zip archiver. Also, an important note, if you’ve had a Kaspersky product installed on your computer before (Antivirus, Internet Security, PURE or CBE), it’s highly advisable to download and run the Kaspersky Products Remover (KavRemover) to completely clear your machine of any residual files or registry entries that could interfere with the ROG install.

2. Go to the Asus Kaspersky page and download the KAV13014190_ROG.zip file.


3.Once downloaded, right click on the zip file and “Extract Here…” to produce a setup executable. Then right click again and extract the setup installer file contents to a folder.


4. Go into the folder you extracted,After extracted you will find two file with name kavkis.msi.
One is zip file and one is setup file. You have to right click on the kavkis.msi (Setup file. Refer below Snapshot )and choose to “Extract Here…”. This will extract a single cbi.dll file which is the activation file for Kaspersky Antivirus. Right Click and Copy or Cut the cbi.dll file.




5. You need to manually create the Kaspersky Anti-Virus directory structure and paste the cbi.dll into it. Go to C:\Program Files\ and create a folder “Kaspersky Lab”. Go into that folder and create another folder called “Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013″, the structure will look like this for 32-bit users:

Quote:C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013

or the following for 64-bit users:

Quote:C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013

Paste the cbi.dll into the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 folder.

6. Now you need to create another directory structure, go to C:\ProgramData and create the folders “Kaspersky Lab”, then “AVP13″ inside that, and “Data” inside that to produce the following structure for Windows Vista, 7 and 8. The ProgramData folder is hidden by default so if you can’t see it in the root of C, type C:\ProgramData into the Search box on the Start menu or configure Windows to show hidden files and folders from Folder Options found in Control Panel.

Quote:C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP13\Data

For Windows XP the Kaspersky Lab folder is in Documents and Settings:

Quote:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP13\Data

7. Go back to the KAV ROG folder from step 3 and double click to open the kavkis.cab file (not the msi from earlier). Inside you will find the Kaspersky license file with a name of _1AA7CD13.key. Right click and copy it, then paste the key file into the Data folder created from step 6.



8. Now the Asus ROG license files are in place, it’s time to download the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 setup installer  from the Kaspersky website. You MUST download the update installer which the link points to and not the trial installer or it won’t work and you will only get 30 days. Then simply install the package as usual, it probably makes no difference whether you choose to participate in the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN). For reference, the tested installer was kav13.0.1.4190abcdefEN_4395 but should work fine on newer 2013 versions when they’re released.




9. Once the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 program has installed, that’s it, you don’t have to do anything else because the program installs and activates itself automatically using the key from the ROG installer. Just make sure you have internet access during the process. If you look at the licensing details when the main interface pops up, you will see the activation has been applied and you have 365 days left!





Enjoy Guys.....
