Will my KIS 2022 auto upgrade to Kaspersky Standard?

Also can I add license key to activate Kaspersky Standard like I used to do for Internet Security?

Hello @rounakr94, 

Welcome back!

1. Not necessarily, which region are you in? 
2. The new software range does not use Activation codes like version 21.3, the new software range uses the License code; the License code is automictically added to (your) MyKaspersky account when the software is purchased; the software activates on the purchase date, not the install date, read: Kaspersky: Basic, Standard, Plus, Premium - info & FAQ

Thank you?

Thanks.

We will get a new version of KIS in 2023 ? Then I will buy a new product key of it from my retailer as I don't have access to either a CC or Net Banking for the Subscription Kaspersky Standard.

Kaspersky website itself says that internet security is not for sale anymore. And there is no option of purchasing it.

And I have no means of getting the subscription based services so looks like my 13year run with Kaspersky is ending.

1. No, KIS will not be released in any further new versions; the version 21.3.10.391 is the last version. KIS 21.3.10.391 has been patched up to patch (j). Databases will continue to be updated until KIS is decommissioned. The same applies to KAV, KTS & KSC, the original KAV Free & KSC Free - all are being replaced by the new software range *eventually* -> read: Kaspersky: Basic, Standard, Plus, Premium - info & FAQ.
2. Incorrect, https://www.kaspersky.co.in/ says that, not *every* Kaspersky website. 
3. Kaspersky Global is selling KIS: https://www.kaspersky.com/internet-security
4. Kaspersky Global is selling KIS: https://www.kaspersky.com/internet-security
5. IF you mean you can't buy online because you don't have a CC or Net Banking, then it makes no difference which software is available online (Kaspersky Standard or KIS), & store merchants are selling boxed Kaspersky Standard software, perhaps (your) merchant will also.

Thank you?

Thank you.

I will source the 1Device 3Year License Key of KIS 2021 for my Desktop and will upgrade it to the Standard version using the web installer like I did for the KIS 2021 on my laptop which had 200+ days remaining.
