Antivirus is a priori one of the most important components of computer software. However, without the timely renewal of the license, the anti-virus program ceases to perform its functions and becomes, in fact, useless.
Instructions
Step 1
To renew the antivirus application, you need to purchase a new license to use it. This can be done in two ways - online and offline. Determine which one is more convenient for you.
Step 2
You can buy a new license for the antivirus on the manufacturer's official website. Do not use websites of unknown origin for these purposes - purchase keys only from developers. Open the website of the company that develops the antivirus you are using with a browser and find the link "Renew license". You will be prompted to enter the current license number and indicate for which software product and for how long you intend to renew it. After that, choose the most convenient payment option (money order, bank card, electronic money, etc.). After paying for the license renewal, wait until a letter with a new key is sent to the specified email address. Enter it in the appropriate field of the anti-virus program and click "Renew" (or "Activate").
Step 3
Another option for extending the validity period of an antivirus is a company's office or a store that distributes license keys. Contact one of these offices. The difference in comparison with the first option is that in this case you will purchase a boxed version of the license. The kit will contain a CD with the anti-virus program itself and the renewal key. Contrary to popular belief, this option is not worse than the first, since over the past time the company could develop a new version of the software, change it, add functions. By purchasing a license renewal key, you automatically get the opportunity to update the program itself.
Step 4
Some popular search engines offer the option of free (or for a minimal price) renewal of the antivirus. If possible, use one of these offers to purchase a new license key.
