Malwarebytes 4.2.0 - Can't activate my Licence Key

[LBS]

Hello everyone.

 

I bought a licence for my Malwarebytes today. I tried activating it, but it wouldn't work.
I am constantly presented with an "Error 404101" message and the indication that my Internet is to blame.

As you can see, by me writing this right now, my Internet is working fine.
I have allowed Malwarebytes through my Firewall and even used the Proxy option.
Sadly no difference. My Malwarebytes refuses to connect to the internet.

I am the admin of my Computer, so that cannot be the problem, either.

 

It would be nice if someone had an idea what to do, since I am at my wits end.

• I tried to activate it over the Program
• I changed the Proxy
• I changed the language and Proxy
• I activated the licence over my Malwarebytes account on the website and tried to connect that to the program
• I tried at least 20 different tips I have seen online about this issue

No result.
I am from Germany and use the program for personal use.

 

Please, someone, help! I don't want this to become an utter waste of 40€.

 

Sincerest Thanks
LBS

Hi,

If you are having technical issues with our Windows product, please do the following:

Malwarebytes Support Tool - Advanced Options

This feature is designed for the following reasons:

How to use the Advanced Options:

The information is saved to a file on the Desktop named mbst-grab-results.zip and can be added as an email attachment or uploaded to a forum post to assist with troubleshooting the issue at hand.
   • Clean: Performs an automated uninstallation of all Malwarebytes products installed to the computer and prompts to install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows afterwards. The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
   •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
   • Anonymously help the community by providing usage and threat statistics: Unchecking this option will prevent Malwarebytes Support Tool from sending anonymous telemetry data on usage of the program.
6. To provide logs for review click the Gather Logs button

Malwarebytes is blocked in the Windows Firewall.

Please restore the default settings. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/70749-restore-default-windows-defender-firewall-settings-windows-10-a.html

Omg! That worked!

Thanks so much.
It seems like the last Windows 10 Update reset the Firewall completely.
