moving Malwarebytes to a new computer?


Recommended Posts

Hi: :)

 

Yes, it is transferable to the new computer.

 

You didn't mention if you have already updated from version 1.x to version 2.x, or if you are still running 1.x.

The procedure is pretty much the same, with a few minor differences, in order to be sure to get a clean removal of 2.x.

 

The basic process is to run the mbam-clean removal tool on the old computer, and reboot it.

That will remove the license ID/key on that machine.

You can then download and reinstall MBAM Free on that old computer, if you want.

 

On the new computer, you'll download and install MBAM, and then use the same ID/key to activate the Premium features.

Here are the details: How do I transfer a licensed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO to my new computer?

(It has not yet been updated for version 2.x, but it is the same overall process.)

 

A "2.x" version of this is here: MBAM Clean Removal Process 2.x

You would use Method 1, modifying it slightly to account for the fact that you are reinstalling on a new computer, not the same old one.

 

Please post back and let us know how it goes,
