I already paid the renewal of my Webroot. 1 more year, but it doesn't up date it in my system, why?

 

I followed the steps to download the new version of the Webroot (already paid for 1 more year) in my system, but when I click on the link to download, it takes me to scan my pc, but it didn't give me any chance to enter the Keycode, neither to download the new Webroot I just bought, in oder words, I paid for something that I haven't received yet!!! 😕 Please HELP!!!
Hi ejmdlfp17

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

If you are an existing user and you have renewed your existing subscription then there is nothing further for you to do; the additional time for the renewed subscription will be added to what remains of your current subscription, i.e., if you are 15 days from the end of the current subscription and you purchase another year (365 days) then your subsubscription in the main planel should be showing 15 + 365 = 380 days.

 

That is of course is you have purchased the Webroot version rather than the Best Buy version, but as you posted at about 08:30 UK time I am suspecting that you are not US-based so this should not apply to you.

 

Now if your 'renewal' is in fact the purchase of a NEW subscription/NEW keycode then until you activate it, i.e., enter the new keycode into WSA, you will continue to use the current, expiring keycode.

 

To enter a new key code is simple, just click on the grear/cog symbol to the right of the My Account tab, 

 



 

and in the new panel displayed (1) enter the keycode (copy & paste is always more reliable than just trying to type it in) & (2) click on the Activate button: 

 



 

And that should be all that there is to it if the keycode is a valid & unexpired one.

 

Final, as just for reference, as long as you have a valid subscription then Webroot will 'push' updates and new versions of WSA to you...there is no need to go an 'get' them.  You can if you wish but most of us just sit back and let them come (and they are so quick and silent that often you do not even know that they have occurred...:D)

 

Well, hope that all helps?  If not then please post back with more specific information on the issue and we will try again to assist.

For completeness, and for those users who have purchased from Best Buy I should point out that things work slightly differently here, in that the renewal, if purchased before the expiry of the current subscription, is not added to the remainder of the current subscription, so you effectively will see the subscription run down to zero, and then within 24 hours of that you should see the correct no. of days subscription show up in the main panel (do note that your credit card is only charged on subscription expiry regardless of how early you renew before expiry)
