HDD died. How best to de-activate/re-activate license?

[tonguetwister]

Some funky current fried my Windows 10 SSD, leaving me momentarily without a computer. I am aware of and had once previously de-activated/re-activated my Malwarebytes lifetime license, but that was when I was able to access the originally installed program. I should be up and running with a replacement desktop within the month but am concerned as to how to proceed with removing/de-activating the license from the dead drive to a newer one.

Greetings,

If you haven't done so already, you should sign up for an account at My.Malwarebytes.com using, if possible, the same email address you used when you originally purchased your license (assuming you still have access to that original email address).  Instructions on doing so can be found in this support article.  If you don't have access to that original email address then sign up with your current email address and try adding your license to your account using the method described in this support article.

If that was successful you should now be able to manage and deactivate your license from your previous device/installation using the method described in this support article.

If that does not resolve the issue then you will need to contact Malwarebytes Support directly by filling out the form on the bottom of this page and they will assist you.  Please include your license ID and Key and, if you still have them, your order number and a copy of your original purchase receipt/email as this will make it much easier and faster for them to get your license key tied to your new account and current email address so that you can manage your license in the future without having to contact Support.

I hope this helps, and if there is anything else we might assist you with please let us know.

Thanks
