Malwarebytes V3 3x PC Activation question.

[Hermansonj]

Recently we have been setting up new techs in our company with the free version of Malwarebytes. Going forward we are looking at setting up select users with the 1 year paid version of Malwarebytes. We were looking at purchasing the 3 PC version of the software to install it on more then one at a time. When we set up new users it can sometimes be 1-2 at a time (usually every few weeks).

My question is when one key is activated right now (ie activated on February 5th 2019 > expires February 5th 2020) do the other keys activate at the same time or will they be activated at their own date any time during that year (ie 1st key activated February 5th 2019, 2nd key activated March 9th 2019 > 1st key expires February 5th 2020, 2nd key expires March 9th 2020)?

 

Ideally the last example works best in our case since we are kinda test running this for the first year as we set up new systems before we commit to any thing auto renewing.

Sorry, but when you activate the key first time it starts the clock on all 3 installs. I see what you are trying to do but that is not how it works.

I suggest looking into Techbench and becoming a reseller so you can make some profit from individual keys.   https://www.malwarebytes.com/techbench/

Thanks for the information. For now we will buy individual licenses until we are ready to do subscriptions for these users.

 

I will also show this Techbench software to the lead IT and see what he thinks.
