1PW Posted October 20, 2022 ID:1538661 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Hello @milsabords: If unrenewed, the now premium edition of MBAM would revert to the free edition. All premium features/active protections would cease and revert to only the free edition features. HTH Edited October 20, 2022 by 1PW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxflyer Posted October 20, 2022 ID:1538668 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) I had that question also but figured since this copy of V5 is for a test group that the expiration on Oct 31 will update. Is this not what will happen? Since I have no desire to be running a "free" version, can we consider this "test" over and we will all revert, or have to revert to V4?

1PW Posted October 20, 2022 ID:1538686 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Hello @milsabords: Much like any major MBAM upgrades in the past, I would expect any present licensing to carry-over to MB5. However, this question is best answered by authoritative Malwarebytes staffers. CC: @H4V0C Thank you. Edited October 20, 2022 by 1PW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff H4V0C Posted October 20, 2022 Staff ID:1538729 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi all! Because we love you so much, and sincerely appreciate your help testing the preview build, we will most definitely be extending the license expirations. No additional action will be required on your part. Once we're ready for a full scale beta release, we will re-evaluate the preview program and update you on the license expirations. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff said in the past that Malwarebytes lifetime keys will be functional for as long as the company is in business. Which will probably be eternity due to the fact they have always stood by promises in the past. Security products will always be needed your lifetime key will always be honored by new MBAM upgrades.

Staff H4V0C Posted October 21, 2022 Staff ID:1538823 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Confirming that lifetime licenses will be eligible to activate MB5 when it's released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted October 21, 2022 ID:1538860 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Speaking of lifetime licenses @H4V0C.... I see that MB5 has VPN integrated, does that mean that folks that have Lifetime licenses will also have this VPN (which I assume is Malwarebytes Privacy) included with their lifetime license? For example I have a lifetime license on my MB4 but I have a purchased yearly license for Malwarebytes Privacy, how will that work?

I'll let @H4V0C confirm, but in your use case, if both the MB4 lifetime license and the Privacy yearly license are associated to the same MyAccount, your MB5 installation will be in Premium Plus state, and you'll be able to use both from the same UI. 😃 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case then lifetime users will only get MB5 with no VPN, is this correct? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted November 1, 2022 ID:1540131 Share Posted November 1, 2022 @icolcear so how will this work? Will I have to enter a KEY for each product? For Example an ID and KEY for my lifetime license Then enter a separate KEY for my VPN subscription? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff icolcear Posted November 1, 2022 Staff ID:1540142 Share Posted November 1, 2022 No, you would create an account here https://my.malwarebytes.com/, associate both your keys with that Account, and then use email/password combination in-product. This activation flow is not available in Preview builds though, they will be a part of MB5 Beta release in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted November 1, 2022 ID:1540180 Share Posted November 1, 2022 OK so if I already have all the in my.malwarebytes.com then I would then install MB5 and activate it using email/password comb. It would probably be best to deactivate MB4 before upgrade to MB5 (since it is a lifetime license)? Or would just simply updating MB4 toMB5 do the trick?

There is a trial but it requires a credit card to start and it is for 7 days after 7 days you are charged automatically.. I do not know if it can be part of the MB5 preview.
