I just bought a renewal subscription for my PC, I went to "My Account" and clicked activate a new keycode. I placed the new key listed in the email sent to me and hit activate.. but received an error message saying the kay has expired.

How is that possible? Please help, I am unsure what I am doing wrong

 

Thanks
Hello emma4889

 

Welcome to the Webroot Community,

 

May I ask where you purchased Webroot? Or Best Buy?

 

Your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode looks like this Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX

 

If you want to request your keycode or installation instructions to be emailed to you, click here to fill out the request form.



If you purchased Webroot SecureAnywhere from Best Buy you can contact Best Buy at 1-800-433-5778 to request your keycode. Or you can find the keycode on the back of the Webroot box with a yellow sticker that you remove that will reveal your keycode.

 

 

Hope this helps?

 
I need my new key code so that I can activate it.
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

Here are the links and if you need to do a clean reinstall!

 

Please follow the steps closely!

 


  • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click HERE)
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and don't import any settings if asked to as you can set it up as you like once it's done
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
Please let us know if that resolves your issue?

 

Thanks,

WHERE DO I GO TO REINSTILL WEBROOT

Hello ROHIT,



Welcome to the Webroot Community,



All you need to do is call Best But and let them know you were unpacking your Webroot product and you tore the keycode and they can look up your keycode for you in there system. Do you have the receipt? You could also return the product for a new Webroot DVD. Call Geek Squad at 1-800-GeekSquad or call the store in your area and they can help you.



Hope this helps,



Kind Regards,
HAI SOR,

Welcome imlong37 to the Community Forum! :D

 

Sorry for this inconvience. May I ask you where you purchased the WSA? If it was Best Buy or Walmart you can simply return for a replacement or if purchased by Best Buy you can call them 1-800-433-5778 and they can resolve this for you. But wherever you purchased it,do you have a receipt?

No where on the receipt has such numbers. Can the code be changed?
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

It's best to take it back to the store and get it replaced.

 

Keycode Example: SDRE-HD24-5656-GHT7-FFG4

How many numbers are in the code?
Hello badboy1636, There's numbers and letters and it should be 20 digits in the code.

 

Let me know if this helped out or not..

 

EDIT: I don't believe the code would be on the receipt. Your best bet is to call Best Buy/Geek Squad and explain to them about the code being torn off and then you'll probably have to return the product for another Webroot.

Hi badboy1636

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

If this was a Best Buy purchase then is the keycode not printed on your receipt?

 

Regards
