Solved

my optimize scan area is blank since i renewed my subscription by calling the company


Hello, I'm a newbie...........Kasie92
I have used Webroot for several years and when I saw the price for a renewal I called the company and stated that as I only ever us 1 PC I wanted a reduced price. (a closed mouth is never fed) They ended up giving me a discount. I did ask if the content would be the same. they said yes it would be the same.I have tried to use the optimize scan. It doesn't work. At first I thought is it me???? I found how to change the settings on what I wanted to be optimized but when I go to the scan area it's blank even though the name optimize is there.  I know from reading these posts there are some talented people in here to help me. I await your phenomenal input.

Sure thing!
Okay, Hi Guys, it's nice to be around you again. I had been absent because non of the fixes fixed the problem. Of course I hadn't gone the best buy ticket thing yet.  I'm about to do this now. I had gotten very discouraged so I left it alone for a moment. But  really need my Optimizer, so here I return :@  Like everyone here I also am  tired of seeing this subject up on the board. Away I go to to download the Best Buy copy...... or do I just need to go for the ticket? I hope you see my underhanded manner for showing confidence while i OBVIOUSLY scream for directions! 😃 Once again thanks for being here for me. You all arr Here For Only Me..........Right!!!;)

Hello again :)
 
If nothing has worked, at this time you DO need to submit a Trouble Ticket with Webroot.
 
From the information earlier in this thread, it looks like you may have originally had a Best Buy Subscription, but since you have renewed directly with Webroot somehow or purchased a new key code directly from Webroot, and so my guess is that currently your key code is NOT a Best Buy key code.
 
@ I am sorry to bother you here, but can you double check the key code type (Best Buy or not) and the Ticket Status?

Hello @ !
 
I may be able to shed a little light on this as I recently had a Best Buy subscription and then purchased a keycode from Webroot.
 
Looking back at your posts, I take it you uninstalled? I had a problem when I entered the new keycode in the console. I did a post about my experience, you can find it  https:///t5/Introduce-yourself-to-the/adding-installing-a-new-keycode-vs-renewal-my-experience/td-p/120644
 
You have a Webroot keycode now, so you want to download it from here
 
I suggest you back up your password manager by exporting your files.
 
If it has not been done already, you may want contact support to have them move your password files to the new keycode
 
Open your browser and sign on to your password manager using the toolbar icon
 


Uninstall Webroot, 
Restart your computer
Install WSA from here
If you are prompted to import your previous setting, answer NO
Once installed, enter the keycode  you received from Nic
Go to your Webroot Account Console (online web consule)
sign in (DO NOT click on renew)
click on manage keycodes to add your new keycode to your console


In the next panel enter your new keycode, click add
 
If you can not sign in, create your account again, I had to do that and all my info was there.
Once you create the account you will see this,select use your existing account


I
You do need to add your PC to the new keycode
When you sign in to MyWebroot, click on the NEW keycode, then PC Security
 


See if that works for you. It did for me.
It cant hurt to open a support ticket now. If this works, you can update them.
 
Let us know!
