Hello, Don't feel so bad as the 'activation procedure' seems to change a bit from build to build... ftp://kav2006:Fynb02dbhec60@data.kaspersky.ru/ Go to this server and then D/L (download) Beta1Codes.txt file: Here you will find activation codes for both KAV225/KIS2205... The KAV/KIS222b (Official Beta Build) also has a activation code within the README txt...(I keep this file on my HD for just-in-case instances-lol Now open up your KIS225 build and choose License Information section: Activate: Then choose Commercial Activation Option, then copy and paste the above key in.
