Unable to activate license, Installation Token not found

[Givey389]

Having finally noticed that my MBAM's license had expired a month ago I renewed the license today, but not when trying to activate the license it's telling me that I'm missing the "installation token" for some odd reason.
I've done a few checkups as I've seen recommended, tried in safe mode, changed out the "hosts" file in Sys32, but the problem still persists.
Knowing now that my MBAM is running as a free version I do not feel safe enough to do a whole lot of browsing around.

 

Any quick help would be appreciated.

Greetings,

Please try the following to see if it resolves the issue:

1. Download and run the Malwarebytes Support Tool
2. Accept the EULA and click Advanced tab on the left (not Start Repair)
3. Click the Clean button, and allow it to restart your system and then reinstall Malwarebytes, either by allowing the tool to do so when it offers to on restart, or by downloading and installing the latest version from here
   

Once that's done, try activating the software with your license key once more to verify that it works properly.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Having misread your solution I hit "Start Repair" instead of going to advanced and hitting "Clean".
After the repair was done my MBAM had my new license key activated and now working.
 

Thank you for reaching out in such a short time.
I hope you have a great day/evening onwards.
