Thanks, any updates will be helpful.

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. The ban (obviously) does affects our US customers and users too. We are still assessing the full impact and are working hard on a solution for our current Kaspersky users. As soon as we have more details we'll share them here.

From what I've gathered so far sales in the US are prohibited from July 20th and a full ban goes into effect on September 29nd.
