If you have purchased a License for the right to use the CryptoPro CSP software, then you have seen the license agreement in paper form (A4 format). Please prepare it - you will need it soon.

Step 1.

Before proceeding with the installation of the program, we recommend that you check if you have an old version of CryptoPro CSP installed. You can do this in the following way:

2. In the window that opens, find the CryptoPro CSP snap-in.

If you not found the CryptoPro CSP snap-in, then proceed to Step 2.

If this snap-in is available, then run it and check the version of the installed program (the inscription "Product Version"). If the software version is higher 4.0.9963 , then you can proceed to install the following programs.
Attention! For normal work with a qualified electronic signature, the minimum required version of the program - 4.0.9963. Therefore, if the version of the program you have installed below4.0.9963 , follow the next step of the instruction.

Step 2
To install CryptoPro CSP version 4.0.9963 download its distribution kit from the official website of the developer - the Crypto-Pro Company. Go to the "Downloads" section in the top menu and select "CryptoPro CSP" from the list. To download the distribution package of the program, you must register on the site (requirement of the developer).

Download the distribution file CSPsetup.exe. This file is the installer for the new version of the program and the upgrade tool for the old version.

Step 3

Run cspsetup.exe and follow the installation wizard prompts.
At one of the installation steps, enter the serial number of the program (from the paper license form).

Step 4
Wait for the program to finish installing, then restart your computer.

If you have already installed the program in demo mode, or the annual license for the CryptoPro CSP program has expired, then to activate a new serial number, you must perform the following steps:

Program activation is completed.

In order to view the CryptoPro CSP serial number entered earlier, you need to:

1. Open the registry: Start - Run - regedit
2. Find the correct directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Installer - UserData - S-1-5-18 - Products - 05480A45343B0B0429E4860F13549069 - InstallProperties.
for Windows 8 and higher: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Installer - UserData - S-1-5-18 - Products - 7AB5E7046046FB044ACD63458B5F481C - InstallProperties.
3. Find the line ProductID - this is the serial number

In connection with the transition to the new national standard for the formation and verification of electronic signature GOST R 34.10-2012, we recommend that you update your CryptoPro CSP Licenses versions 3.6 and 3.9 in advance. to the current ones, since these versions do not support the new national standard GOST R 34.10-2012, which is mandatory from January 1, 2019.

To check the need to update the CryptoPro CSP License, launch the CryptoPro CSP program. To do this, go to "Start" -> "Programs" (or "All Programs") -> "CRYPTO-PRO" -> "CryptoPro CSP".

In the window that opens, select the "General" tab, pay attention to the product version and the license validity period:

If the version of the CryptoPro CSP program installed on your computer is 4.0 or 5.0, and the license validity period is "Permanent", then everything is in order, you are ready to switch to a new cryptographic standard.

If the line "Validity period" contains date of or word "Expired", then you need to purchase a license and enter a serial number.

If you see "Permanent" in the "Validity period" line, but the CryptoPro CSP version starts at 3.6... or 3.9..., then you need to purchase a CryptoPro CSP version upgrade license, update the program on your computer to the current version and enter serial number.

Entering the serial number depends on which certificate is being used for the job. From the end of April 2014, Kontur.Extern subscribers can be issued certificates with a built-in license. A sign that the license is built-in is the presence of the "Limited Crypto-Pro License" line on the "Contents" tab in the public key of the certificate (see ).

You do not need a valid seat license to use these certificates.

Good afternoon, dear readers and guests of the blog, today we continue to administer the cryptopro csp 4.0 cryptoprotection program, last time we solved the "installer service could not be accessed" problem and a blue screen with error 800B0001. Today we are faced with the task of find the license key in the installed Cryptopro csp 4.0, for example, on Windows 10. Previously, everything was simple, I went into the special "License Management" snap-in and that's it, I saw it right away, in the fourth version, the developers complicated everything, but we are already experienced computer users, and it's easy to bypass.

The most effective method to determine the cryptopro csp 4.0 license key code in Windows is through the Windows registry. It contains absolutely all the information about all installed programs, the registry can be compared with a catalyzed library, where everything is on the shelves. Open regedit and find the section there

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\

In this section there will be many folders with incomprehensible names in the form of numbers and letters in a chaotic sequence. Among the below you need to find the following values:

  • 05480A45343B0B0429E4860F13549069\InstallProperties is cryptopro 3.9
  • 7AB5E7046046FB044ACD63458B5F481C\InstallProperties is cryptopro 4

On the right side, you need to find the ProductID line, its value is the cryptopro license key, you can copy it and transfer it to another employee or reinstall the program on another computer using it.

I hope the article turned out to be useful for you and you have an even better understanding of how the Windows operating system functions and works.
