Move Premium to new laptop & downgrade old laptop to Free

[MarkBevan]

I want to move my Premium License to a new laptop, and downgrade my old laptop to using the free version.

 

Using my Prelmium License on the new laptop has worked fine, but I can't seem to downgrade my old laptop to using the free version.

I have tried uninstalling & removing the MBAE folders in Program Files & ProgramData (it's an old Vista laptop), but whenever I install MBAE (the Free or Experimental versions), it picks up my License ID.

 

Any ideas on how I can downgrade my old laptop from using my Premium license, to using the Free version ?

Simply follow these steps:

 

1- Uninstall MBAE from the old laptop

2- Delete the MBAE registry key. Run "regedt32.exe" and delete the following keys (only 1 of them will exist)

     HKLM\SOFTWARE\Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit

     HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit

3- Re-install MBAE in the old laptop

Thanks pbust, that worked fine (only the first registry key existed)

@pbust:

 

Manually editing the registry seems a bit awkward for some basic users (and I am not referring to the OP, of course).

 

Is there a plan to code in a future version for more complete removal with a standard Windows CP uninstall, and/or a removal tool?

 

<just curious>

 

Thanks!

Yes we do have something planned for the future to handle this much easier, like in MBAM.

Excellent!
