Bought a new Webroot for 5 since my old Webroot for 3 was expiring. Now when I enter my desktop password to access all my passwords, it says "account deactivated".
How do I fix this?

Hello again,
 
Is your renewal directly through Webroot or did you renew through Best Buy?
 
Did you actually renew the existing key code or did you purchase a new key code?
 
 
If so then you will need to Contact Support to transfer your password manager to your new keycode.
 
 
 
Regards

This was a new purchase through Webroot. My previous version was through Best Buy. I sent an email to customer support and am waiting for a reply. I would really like all 5 protected devices to show up on my account and get my password manage back! Hope to hear from them soon!!

Hello ratrita,
 
Don't worry Support will get a hold of you as soon as they can alright? Do not issue another support ticket because that will put you further back on the list.
 
 
Let us know if Support hasn't contacted you in a day or so and I can ask our moderator to see if he can help with this situation.
 
 
Thank you for your patience. You might also check your junk mail encase thier email got filtered in with the spam.
 
 
Kind Regards,

I see the old keycode and the new one on your account, so not sure why it's not letting you in.  Go ahead and contact support and we'll see what they say.

Hi Nic
 
I hate to state what may be the bleeping obvious but if orginal version was Best Buy and new version is Webroot, has there been a check to make sure thatnthere has also been an uninstall of Best Buy version and install of Webroot version...or am I missing something?
 
Is it possible that this may be a factor in the overall issue equation?  And certainly even if there has been an uninstall the data held under the Best Buy keycodd will need to be transferred by Support to the Webroot keycode?
 
Regards, Baldrick.
