New Renewed License Key Expired ???


Recommended Posts

I open a support ticket on this matter back on sunday but no one has gotten back to me.

Anyway I renewed my subscription for a key I have for 6 users. Unfortunately Malwarebytes keeps telling me the key is expired and that I need to update my payment information.

 

I have made sure Malwarebytes is up to date, have re-entered my key right from the order complete email. Still says it is Expired. Yet the payment has went through, and my account on the website here says it is active for another year.

 

So Any idea's why this is happening ? I'd like to get it fixed as my mom uses that license for her laptop and she not very computer literate.

Hi,

Thanks for posting in the Malwarebytes for Windows Help forum.

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:

  • For use when you are on the forums and need to provide logs for assistance
  • For use when you don't need or want to create a ticket with Malwarebytes
  • For use when you want to perform local troubleshooting on your own

How to use the Advanced Options:

Spoiler
  1. Download Malwarebytes Support Tool
  2. Double-click mb-support-X.X.X.XXXX.exe to run the program
    • You may be prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow changes to be made to your computer. Click Yes to consent.
  3. Place a checkmark next to Accept License Agreement and click Next
  4. Navigate to the Advanced tab
  5. The Advanced menu page contains four categories:
    • Gather Logs: Collects troubleshooting information from the computer. As part of this process, Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) is run to perform a complete diagnosis. 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
  7. Upon completion, click OK
  8. A file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your Desktop

  11. Click the Yes button to proceed. 
  12. Save all your work and click OK when you are ready to reboot.

  14. Select Yes to install Malwarebytes.
  15. Malwarebytes for Windows will open once the installation completes successfully.

Only support can fix this. You must wait for their response.

Could you please post the ticket number.

ticket 3219009

 

i tried a clean install as well and no luck. Still says the key is expired and to update payment information. This is very weird as payment went through back in September and the renewed key says it good for another year in my account.

Still have not heard from Malwarebytes support team.

I still have a key I have fully paid and renewed in September that claims to be expired. I feel like I paid to only lose a month or more of my subscription.

 

I know times are hard, but is Malwarebytes not allowing support staff to work from home ? Is that the reason there is a shortage of support employees ? It just seems weird to me as I know the company I work with, we just VPN and remote desktop to the network and do the work from home on computers, and I know my buddy in the call center is doing his job from home by VPN and VOIP for answering calls. Just wondering what Malwarebytes is doing or what plan if any do they have for getting back on track ?

 

Guess the next question is, should I keep waiting for support, or would it be better for me to just contact Visa, reverse the payment, and just buy a new license altogether ?
