Reinstalled from original CD, but not prompting for product key

[Stevec48076]

My windows 7 computer crashed.  I had to wipe the disk and re-install windows.

Then I tried to reinstall Malwarebytes from the original CD.  Then it brings up the message that it is xxx days old, do I want to update.

when I say yes, it fails with error PROGRAM _ERROR_UPDATING (12007, 0, WinHttpSendRequest)

When I open the program, and go to the about tab, it does NOT give me the option to register it.

I don't have an original email invitation to register with support.

How do I get it reinstalled and up-to-date

I have the original CD and it says 'Service Malwarebytes lifetime SK'

• Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST)

  2. Double-click to run FRST and when the tool opens click "Yes" to the disclaimer
  3. Press the "Scan" button
  4. This will produce two files in the same location (directory) as FRST: FRST.txt and Addition.txt

Download and run MB-CLEAN. Please run from an administrator account.

• Download MB-CLEAN
• Close all open applications
• Double-click and run mb-clean-3.1.0.1031.exe
• A prompt with an option to clean up the system will appear: click Yes
  • Yes - will proceed with backing up the license key (Malwarebytes 3.x only) and initiating the cleanup process
• Once the cleanup process is completed, a prompt will appear:
  • Yes - will proceed and post reboot you will be prompted to continue with the downloading, installation and activation of latest version of Malwarebytes 3
  • No - will exit the utility and you will not be prompted (post reboot) to download, reinstall and re-activate (not recommended)
    • We recommend rebooting immediately. Additionally, stopping at this step is not recommended and will most likely not resolve your issue(s).
• Upon reboot, a prompt will appear: click Yes
  • Yes - will download, install and activate the latest version of Malwarebytes 3
  • No - will exit the utility and Malwarebytes 3 will not be downloaded, reinstalled or re-activated (not recommended)

 If it does not offer the new install after the reboot you can download and install from here.
