hi
I just installed a sealed copy of secure anywhere essentials 2012 that came with my pc last year.
I was previously using another vendor that has just expired so thought it was time to give this a try.
To use some of the features in the control panel like passwords etc it wants me to upgrade.
Do i have to upgrade to use those features and what version would i need as i can't see essentials in the products line now
thanks

Hello grizz and welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
To answer your question, yes.  You do have to upgrade to use those features.  Really, you want to upgrade even if you dont want to use those features.  Please see This Link for more information, but I believe support for the "legacy" Internet Security Essentials has completely ended at this time.

You are very welcome.  Note: if you have time remaining on the license, you might be able to get the upgrade for free!
