It has been a long time since I have posted something about Kaspersky. This 6 months KAV2010 license promotion which I am about to post is not from any CD magazine promo but a legitimate collaboration between Kaspersky and Microsoft for Windows Live Messenger users. As long as you have a Hotmail or Live account, you are eligible for the free Kaspersky 6 months trial license.
First of all, this Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 activation code is a trial license and not a commercial one. If you have previously activated a trial license before, you cannot use this key. Secondly, this license is meant to to activate the Chinese version of the installer. If you try to activate it on the English setup, you will get the error “Activation code is not compatible with this application. It is impossible to activate Kaspersky Anti-Virus using the activation code for another application. Please, check your product.”
1. Open Windows Live Messenger and sign in to your Live account.
2. Add this email msn.help@live.cn to your Windows Live Messenger contact.
3. Visit http://kaba.msn.com.cn/
4. Copy the line that I have circled in red and send it as a message to msn.help@live.cn in your Windows Live Messenger. You should instantly receive a reply with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 activation code.
So far I’ve researched a total of 3 methods on how to change the Chinese interface into English. The first and second method uses the Chinese installer but switching the interface skin to English. The third method is the latest one which I’ve discovered on how to use the Chinese key to activate the English setup.
Important Note: Before proceeding in making any changes on the registry based on the steps below, you will have to first disable the Self-Defense option. You can do that by double clicking the Kaspersky icon at system tray, click at the top right icon 
and a window will open. At the left pane, click on the icon that looks like this 
, uncheck the first option and press ENTER key to close the window.
First method: Install Chinese version of KAV2010 and activate using the license code. Then at the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment\ and change the SkinSwitchDisabled value from 1 to 0. At the Kaspersky program, press Shift+F12 to instantly switch the skin from Chinese to English.
Second method: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment\ and change the Localization value from sch to en.
Third method: Install Chinese version of KAV2010 and when asked to activate, close the window. Go to registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment\ and note down the InstallBasesID value data. Uninstall Kaspersky Chinese and restart computer. Now install Kaspersky English, click Activate Later and click Next. Click Finish to Start Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Disable Self-Defense and exit Kaspersky by right clicking on the system tray icon and select Exit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment\ , change the InstallBasesID value data to the one that you noted down and also the localization from en to sch. Run Kaspersky and a window will appear with no text, two buttons and one dialog box. Enter the activation code to the only box and hit enter. When you see a window with only ONE checkmark, right click the Kaspersky tray icon and click the lowest selection to Exit. Finally, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP9\environment\ and change the Localization value data from sch back to en. Run Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 and you have a valid 183 days license subscription.
The third method is very long and troublesome but I am just sharing the possibility of activating a Chinese license key on an English installer. The second method is the easiest although I’ve got reports from some people that it reverts back to sch after a few updates.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 (9.0.0.736) Chinese Installer: kav9.0.0.736_CF2_sch.exe
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 (9.0.0.736) English Installer: kav9.0.0.736en.exe

Bravooo mannn..Raymond u rock..thnks
thanks …..so this key will work on KAV not KIS right???
thanks a llot Sujit,I solved problem finaly
best regards from florim
I think maybe it was initially settled to be valid in a fixed period of time.
And everyone can only use it until the appointed and fixed date.
@LunarWolf: Generally speaking, not all. No one really knows the true shelf life of Kaspersky key. But it is a fact that boxed keys has much longer shelf life compared to online keys.
@Raymond,
Not true. The 100 days KIS 2009 keys I got during the promotion last year is still valid. When I activated, I have 100 days left.
Thank you sir, hope you have kaspersky internet security 2010? i have 5 days left trial, hope can to jc_fernandez@yahoo.com
Thanks Raymond!!! You simply rock. So detailed instructions, even with the icons in the kaspersky chinese interface, so doing as you have instructed us to do was a piece of cake, thanks so much. One question if possible, what is that “Shell or Shelf life” that is being discussed, my trial expires on november 1st, will it last till nov. 1st or not?
Too bad…I activated the 30 day trial few days ago so this is not an option for me… :(((
I’d found it about several months ago ,but it didn’t work.(I did use it in the Chinese version)
Furthermore, why not catch up with the trend of learning Chinese by using Kspersky in Chinese Version?
awesome work,,,thanks ray,,,,it works:)
Raymond, i dont understand what you are saying about previous installation . I i had kaspersky and uninstalled it , delete everything from the registry , and try this promotion , will it work?
getting this error “We could not send invitations to These people Because they’ve reached the limit in the number of people they want in cans have customers on their network: * msn.help @ live.cn ”???
try this first send a mail to msn.help@live.cn
the in new window msn will show “Not in your contact list”
simply tick on msn.help@live.cn, then click on add to contacts.
& u r done !!!!
Unable to find the file. Only have up to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\Components\SC\Plugins\SC Anti-Virus Plugin (PR)
thanks you so much ray. This is so good but i prefer internet security. Anyway i got my key :)
Please include the specific link on where to download the Chinese version.

Hi, Thanks Raymond. One more way to convert CHINESE to ENGLISH without much of a hassle is below ( I converted by this method, and hey I discovered it myself :-) ….
1) Go To ..:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010\Skin\loc , here you will find TWO folders with the name EN and SCH, just reverse there name i.e rename EN to SCH and then SCH to EN…and that is all…
Thanks :-)
thanks will try it
@Cher: If you have previously activated a trial license or even installed a commercial license before, this won’t work.
@Simon: Thanks for the further information of 1 key is allowed to be shared with 10 registration.
@KaYaN: Kaspersky activation code surely has shelf life. The commercial ones that is sold in boxes has much longer shelf life but the online generated ones are normally short with only 3 months or less.
@hani55: You have to visit the website from the link I gave so you can copy the chinese text.
@Joe Dominic: No this key is only for Kaspersky Anti-Virus and cannot be used to activate Kaspersky Internet Security.
@scantheman: Would appreciate if you can shoot me an email about the error, and also what program is causing it.
@Siddhartha: Just spent some time in analyzing how it works.
@James: The keys generated will be the same for the particular live account. For example if you requested using james@hotmail.com, no matter how many times you request after that will always give you the same key. But if you try another email, you get a new key.
The key is the same to everyone so here it is.
4PDPK-SXT14-XXXXX-XXXXX
I used three(3) account to get the key and it’s the same key everytime. Also, transalate what they say to english! They talk shit about America!
Great one
It works awesome .. man
u r the man ray ..
gr8 job ..
my trial period of kaspersky pure was just over ..
thanx u saved me..
BTW where do u get to know such things
the above is the error message….Raymond what is the problem?
why does Raymonds website continually ‘bug’ out…ads galore, adobe sent an error message this morning, hangs, etc…..Raymond provides a great service but to get it one must get through the ‘jungle’ ….sorry I’m complaining but it seems to be a continuous problem.
I know the response is, if I don’t like it, get out.
Something is wrong with this website.
