How do you activate Kaspersky 2011 with a key? [SOLVED]

August 5th, 2016

I just installed KIS 2011 and activated as trial. I tired using the old procedure I used on KIS 2010: with my internet disconnected, enter a bogus serial in “Activate Commercial License” field to bring up the “Key File” field. But this doesn’t work with KIS 2011, I get an error message: “activation error cannot setup server connection”. What’s the new way to do it?

Thank You guys, I appreciate your help. Will study this.
Edit:
One of the links is for a “anti-black list patch”. But that doesn’t do any good unless I install a key first.
The other link is how to activate Kaspersky 2010 license using a key file which as I stated above does not work with v2011.
I really want to stay with KIS, havent gotten a virus in years using it. Would appreciate any other ideas.

I only wish I could buy the thing for $69.95 instead of dealing with the aggravation of changing keys every week, but I barely have the money to put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads for my family and I. Fishing and -software-music-movies are the only niceties I have at this time.
Solved.
Apparently, when you install the trial version for the first time, then try to install a regular key, you have to disconnect you router as well as the cable modem to get the key box to come up.
