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
  9. Please attach the file in your next reply.
  10. To uninstall all Malwarebytes Products, click the Clean button.
  11. Click the Yes button to proceed. 
  12. Save all your work and click OK when you are ready to reboot.
  13. After the reboot, you will have the option to re-install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows.
  14. Select Yes to install Malwarebytes.
  15. Malwarebytes for Windows will open once the installation completes successfully.

Do you have the old PC? if so deactivate on that computer. If not,

If you purchased it from Malwarebytes directly, an email was needed for purchase. That would give you access to your account at my.malwarebytes.com. There you can de activate it so you can use it on your new computer. You need to be able to access that email account for the 2 factor confirmation as well.

If all else fails,

This is one issue only the support desk can address.

thanks, this was purchased several years ago. possibly 5 or 6 if not more.  i took pics of all the info, in case something like this ever happened. but i am not sure what email i put it under. all i have to activate it is the device name, both keys, the edition: premium and that its a 'never expires' version.

yes , did all that.

problem is, the pc i purchased and installed malwarebytes on recently. was corrupted after i did a reboot.

they think it was the graphics card, i have no idea. but i couldnt get back into it, so i sent it back for a refund, with my malwarebytes still installed.

they said not to worry they wipe them clean, but something tells me , that if its not uninstalled first, and just formatted /wiped clean, its not enough?

i dont mind paying for a subscription yearly, but man' i'm going to miss that 'never expired' version. sniffles. Thanks all for your help. hugs,

Yes, the license is tied to the email used. I suggest when you purchase a new subscription, you use an email that is not tied to any ISP like gmail or outlook.com.
