I've just renewed my subscription for another year, and I have decided to download the webroot app for my android, when I am asked to enter my account information and product key, I get a message saying that it is not the required key code, yet it is the same one displayed on the "my account" tab of my pc interface.

Hello Spherrera19, welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
This can be caused by quite a few different things, but I think in your case it is mostly likely to be the account setup and user permisions.
 
Go to the Account Console and log in.  If you have not yet created your Account Console, you need to do this in order to log into the mobile apps correctly.
 
Once logged in, click your email address at the upper right corner and choose "Manage Users" from the dropdown.
 
Locate the profile (Email address) you are wanting to use to log in.  Check to make sure that all permissions are set to Access.  If you have WSA Internet Security Plus for your computer, you will need Mobile Security and Password access.  If you have WSA Complete for your computer, you will need Mobile Security, Back & Synch and Passwords all set to access.  If you do not have a license for your computer, and are using only the standalone Android app, you will need just Mobile Security set to access.
 
If these permissions are not correct, click the little "person icon" at the far right end of the profile you need to edit.  On the next screen, click the Access & Permissions tab at the top.  Adjust your settings here, and while you are here check the key code listed. If you are using the Mobile App as part of the protection you received  with WSA for your computer, the key code must not be expired, and if you have WSA Internet Security Plus or WSA Complete for your computer this key code should match what you are using on the computer application.  If the Key Code expired or does not match the key code for your computer, you may need to Submit A Trouble Ticket for assistance.  Changes to settings in the Account Console can take 20-30 minutes to take effect, so grab a chair, a nice cold glass of water and relax a few minutes.  
 
Hopefully SOMETHING in this overly long reply will help! 
 
Please let us know how you do, and you can also submit that Trouble Ticket for further help if needed as well.

Hello Spherrera19,
 
Welcome to the Community!
 
But first of all Clear your Cache and restart you Androd and try installing WSA again.
 
Would you please go to this Knowlege Base Article to make sure you are installing the correct version.
