Kaspersky - can I add to existing subscription?

Hello - does anyone know if I can add the free one year subscription to Kaspersky to my existing subscription, or whether putting the free one on top of the paid overrides the paid?

Most certainly overrides, from what I've gathered from Kasperskys FAQs subscriptions are not cumulative, so, if you still have, say, 3 months of your own subscription and add the free one year that comes with Parallels, you won't get 15 months, you'll get one year, I'm almost certain this is true, thou I haven't tried it myself, so careful with that.

Thanks - is there any way to click no but to apply it later, or apply it to a different computer? I have well over a year left of the two year subscription which I bought.

No, there isn't.

The free Kaspersky package that comes with Parallels is only installable on Parallels VMs, meaning, you can install it on another VM, but not on a real computer, but you probably can transfer your paid subscription to any computer and use the free Parallels one for the VM.
