Hello @weboot 

 

Sorry but Webroot doesn’t support the Chromebook OS because Chrome OS has there own AV per say and don’t allow other AV’s to be installed.

 

See here for more info:

    Why doesn’t Webroot work with Chromebooks, WHEREAS, Kaspersky anti virus does?

    I had to pay extra license for Kaspersky for my Chromebook, even though I had enough extra Webroot licenses.
