I recently purchased a 1 year 10 devices premium subscription, so i want to know what it the difference between adding a device from my devices tab and between sharing protection? will the shared device/account still get the unlimited vpn?
I am trying to share it among my family but it is kinda confusing so thought better to ask first
The primary account is the one you used to purchase the subscription.
Only the primary account’s email address and password can be used to access the VPN on other devices.
The VPN app is a standalone application; therefore, you may have only this app on a smartphone, but not Kaspersky Antivirus for Android/iOS.
Eg: You may have Kaspersky Premium on 10 PC/Mobile and VPN on other 10 PC/Mobile.
The primary account can control which device has the active subscription.
It is advisable to install the Kaspersky VPN app on smartphones first, log in, and only then install the Kaspersky antivirus app. If you already have the Kaspersky app installed, uninstall it first because this app has a built-in VPN option that automatically activates the VPN and prevents the use of the VPN app.

A while back they rolled the VPN standalone into the KasperskyAV Android app too. I know this because ai particularly hated it and still do. As i was using a different AV at the time and only kept VPN but when I installed it automatically saw my VPN and Kaspersky AV and fucked it up so I would’ve had to keep the KasperskyAV on it to use VPN. Luckily…enough complaints came thru so they fixed it where the AV app asks you if you want to port/merge the standalone VPN into it or keep it separate…I still keep it separate…but if OP thinks that it could benefit from only installing the AV and using the VPN thru there he can…but. I want to say I already seen some issues there when one does that where it thinks your in a country where vpn is controlled by the government and not allowed and then the button grays out
