When it becomes necessary to install a more advanced version of the program, it is not at all necessary to remove it and then reinstall it. You just need to change the activation key. But to enter a new key, delete the old one, otherwise the program will not work.
Instructions
Step 1
What do I need to do to remove the activation key? First of all, download a new key or purchase it from a software vendor. For example, if this is a Kaspersky anti-virus program or any other, then go to the official website and order a new key. The sites often offer new versions of programs with free keys, provided that the products of these service providers are used.
Step 2
As a rule, to pay for a new key from antivirus software, you need to fill out a special information form so that you will be sent a code. Go to the official website of the developer. Fill in all the information that will be requested by the system, especially the email address. Next, pay for the application, and you will receive a new activation code by email.
Step 3
So, after receiving a new key, you need to delete the old one. To do this, open the program. If you are deleting an antivirus software key, first disable its protection. Without this, the antivirus program will not allow you to take any action. As soon as protection is disabled, restart your computer.
Step 4
Then open the program window again. Go to the "License Management" option. In the window that opens, you will see a line with the program key. Click the left mouse button on the cross or the "Delete" command. They are usually located on the right. The activation key has been removed. Now you can install a new key.
Step 5
If you delete the activation key for other programs, then the protection does not need to be disabled. You just open the program, go to "Settings" or "Properties" and delete the activation key by clicking on the cross next to it. After all the procedures, restart your personal computer for all changes to take effect.
