Within 30 seconds after payment confirmation from the bank or payment gateway.

Our automated order fulfillment server runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. As soon as your payment is authorized, your authentic software key and official download link are dispatched instantly.

No, we do not provide physical CD/DVDs, printed manuals, or retail packaging. We only deliver authentic software license keys via Email & SMS.

Modern computers and laptops rarely come with optical CD drives. You can download the latest, most up-to-date installer setup directly from the antivirus manufacturer's official website (e.g. Quick Heal, Kaspersky, K7, Bitdefender, McAfee, ESET) and activate it with your Keywala license key.

NO! The validity countdown does not start on the day you purchase from Keywala.com.

Your antivirus license validity period starts from the exact date and time you install and activate the key on your PC, laptop, or mobile device.

Please wait 5 to 10 minutes after completing the transaction. In 1% - 2% of transactions, intermittent banking server delays can delay the automatic gateway callback.

NO. A Renewal serial key works only if you already have the exact same licensed antivirus previously installed and activated on your device.

Renewal keys are designed by antivirus brands to extend an active or expired license. Renewal keys will NOT work on demo / trial versions or on a fresh installation without a previous license record. This is why Renewal packs are priced lower than New / Fresh packs.

NO. Antivirus serial keys sold on Keywala.com come with Geographical Lock restrictions enforced by the brand manufacturers and must be activated within Indian Territory only.

For products such as Kaspersky, Quick Heal, and K7, activation attempts outside India will fail due to brand region-locking. Please purchase only if you intend to activate the software within India.

If you encounter an issue during the installation or software download process, follow these recommended troubleshooting steps:

1. Uninstall Conflicting Software: Having two different antiviruses installed simultaneously can block the installation. Completely uninstall any existing antivirus and restart your computer.
2. Verify System Compatibility: Ensure your Windows, macOS, or Android operating system version meets the software's minimum requirements and that your device has an active internet connection.
3. Contact Brand Customer Care: Every software brand provides free customer installation and activation helplines (e.g. Quick Heal, K7, Kaspersky, Bitdefender).
4. Key Error Resolution: If your key says "Invalid Key" or "Already Registered", contact Keywala Support immediately with an error screenshot at support@keywala.com or WhatsApp +91 8860802502 for instant resolution.

Activation keys sold on Keywala.com are sourced directly through authorized bulk wholesale distribution channels, which is why we are able to offer up to 70% - 88% off standard retail MSRP.

If a brand manufacturer runs a promotional contest specifically restricted to physical, single standalone retail box packs (such as scratch-and-win cards found inside retail packaging), bulk digital OEM license keys may not qualify for those standalone retail contests.

We buy authentic software licenses in high-volume bulk batches directly from authorized brand distributors.

Because our business operates purely online with automated digital delivery, we have virtually no retail showroom overheads, packaging printing costs, or courier charges. We operate on thin margins and pass these savings directly to our customers.

At Keywala.com, we use an automated GST tax-invoicing system. Once the transaction and billing process is completed, invoices are permanently generated and filed in accordance with tax compliance guidelines.

You are most welcome to visit our office in Janakpuri, New Delhi.

However, please note that offline retail counter pricing is slightly higher than online pricing to account for physical counter handling and administrative costs. The heavily discounted prices shown on Keywala.com are exclusive to online self-service orders.

Keywala.com is designed primarily for retail end-users with single or small quantity checkouts to ensure fair distribution.

If you are an IT dealer, repair technician, or corporate purchaser requiring bulk quantities, please email your requirement to info@keywala.com or WhatsApp us at +91 8860802502 for seamless bulk fulfillment.

Our published web prices are already close to wholesale distribution rates. However, for recurring bulk business or orders with a total value above ₹5,000, we offer custom dealer pricing tiers.

NO. Due to the digital nature of software licenses, once an activation code has been delivered via SMS or Email, it cannot be reclaimed, returned, or resold. Therefore, digital key purchases are non-refundable.

If you accidentally purchased the wrong product (e.g. Total Security instead of Antivirus, or 1PC instead of 3PC), here are the best options to utilize the key:

1. 1Install the purchased edition: In most cases, higher edition suites (like Total Security or Internet Security) provide superior virus, ransomware, and web protection. You can uninstall your previous basic edition and install the upgraded edition.
2. 2Gift it to friends or family: You can pass the license code to a family member, colleague, or friend whose device needs protection.
3. 3Local computer technician: You can share the unused key with your neighborhood computer repair shop to utilize for their clients.

Please always double-check the product brand, device count, and duration in your cart before completing checkout.
