One account. Three different jobs.
Signing in, activating a subscription and installing an app are connected, but they are not the same thing. Knowing which step you need makes setup easier.
Start with your accountYour subscription
A subscription determines the products, devices and term available to you. A retail activation code may need to be added to the account before you can use it.
Your application
The Kaspersky app runs on your device. Signing into a website alone does not install the software or confirm that protection is running.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few things worth knowing.
What should I have ready before setting up Kaspersky?
Keep your account email, access to your verification method and purchase confirmation ready. Check which device you want to protect and whether your subscription covers it. If you bought an activation code, keep it private and use it only on the official portal or in the supported app.
Do I need a new account for every device?
You can use the same My Kaspersky account for compatible devices. The number of devices you can protect depends on your subscription. Check available device slots before installing on another device.
Is a My Kaspersky password the same as an activation code?
No. A password gives access to your account. An activation code relates to a purchased subscription. Do not use one in place of the other.
Can I follow the guides in German?
Yes. Select Deutsch in the navigation to open the equivalent German guide. Language selection does not change your Kaspersky account or subscription.
A note on availability
Products, downloads and account options vary by country. Kaspersky states that downloads are unavailable in the United States and its territories. Check the current official regional guidance before attempting installation.
