    If you have Pure on disc, then simply copy the files from it to your hard drive and then transfer them to the Netbook. Install and then insert your product key. Easy.

    Otherwise you can find the 182MB direct download from the Kaspersky website here

    If it's the same version as you have already downloaded, you should know that the version doesn't matter. Your product key will work with the new version and will expire at the same time as the version of your other machines.
    Accordingly, you can update the versions already installed on your other machines.

    Your licence should work with the 2013 version.

    You should also be able to upgrade your current installations to 2013 version as well.

  • Have you considered Microsoft Security Essentials which is free.

    On another topic, if your netbook memory (RAM) hasn't been upgraded to 2GB and it can be, that would be worthwhile and fairly cheap.

    More details here

    It's simple, you can install over the top or un-install, reboot and then run a clean install for your other machines. For the Netbook, just download, install and enter key.

    If it's too heavy for your Netbook, you can try MSE as suggested to see if it is any better.

    Erm what?

    Kaspersky always allows current licence codes to be used with the latest version via the download area of their website.

    That's why you can't usually download previous versions.
