Sensible to take year free of Kaspersky AV 2013 when 2014 is out now?

At http://usa.kaspersky.com/kav-offer, one can now download a year's license of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013! for free. Of course, Kaspersky AV 2014 is now out. AV 2014 has some impressive-sounding new features :

Zero-day, Exploit and Targeted Attack (ZETA) Shield Technology

Suppose your budget is tight and you don't want to buy an AV. Would it be a good idea to go ahead and get Kaspersky 2013, which did extremely well in recent testing?

Has anybody run Kaspersky together with another AV like avast!? I know the saying absolutely only one AV. But some AVs are made to be compatible, like Emsisoft, Webroot, Coranti, Baidu, ClamWin / Clam Sentinel, and others. I have read that some people successfully run avast! and Panda together.

I might just get Kaspersky 2013 and keep avast! as an on-demand scanner if I can do that.

 

Do you have the promotional code required in the sign-up?

 

I apologize profusely.

What happened is I was looking at some interesting software on a mostly Arabic-language website. I saw something in English there about an offer of Kaspersky 2013 for free. So I searched the relevant terms on the Internet and found the webpage I listed above. In my enthusiasm I overlooked the required line for promotional code. Later I went back and did more searching. I was able to find that Kaspersky has offered its 2013 version for free to the mainland Chinese and to the Republic of Gaming folks. I called Kaspersky support asking for the promotional code, and they told me that page was only for people whom they sent out the offers to.

I have learned a lesson from this.
