Hello notpcwise
 
Please follow these instructions here to uninstall Webroot from your mobile device.


  1. From the main SecureAnywhere Mobile panel, press your mobile device's Menu button.  
  2. In the Menu panel, tap Uninstall.  
  3. If prompted, enter your Webroot password and tap OK to continue.  
  4. In the confirmation panel, tap OK to remove SecureAnywhere from your device.
Note: If you experience problems with the uninstall, they may be due to Device Administrator settings.  Click here for more information.  
Following these instructions will remove the device from your online account, but it will NOT uninstall the app from your device. Be sure to uninstall the app before taking these steps.
 
  1. Log in to my.webrootanywhere.com and select the console you want to view.  
  2. Click the Mobile Security tab.  
  3. Select the device you want to deactivate. [img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/mobile_portal_devices.png[/img] A window with options for this device appears.  
  4. Click Remove Device. [img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/mobile_portal_about_device.png[/img]  
  5. A confirmation popup appears. If you are certain you want to deactivate the device, click Yes, continue. [img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/mobile_portal_remove_device.png[/img] The device is removed from your Webroot Account.
Then please go here for instruction in installing Webroot Internet Security Plus. https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Installing-Webroot-SecurityAnywhere-Mobile/ta-p/147065
 
Mske sure you have your keycode ready for installation.

Well I did something wrong ...no surprise there:( But I don't know what to do now.  I had purchased the Premier Webroot for my SG2 phone.  I then upgraded to an SG4.  I had uninstalled Premier from my SG2 (at least I thought I had) and deactivated the SG2  from the mobile security area where it was listed.  But I find my SG2 & SG4 are shown in the console area along with my PC and tablet.   In trying to transfer the Premier webroot to the new phone I get the triangle with the exclamation point in it and  "Error  The keycode you entered is not valid. (152)Activation/upgrade failed (here it has some other stuff and ends with the following: License check failed due to invalid keycode.  Response code: 1 [error]"  and on the new phone a free webroot security got installed.   I cannot get back into my SG2 phone as it was deactivated when I got my new phone. I tried finding some tutorials online but wasn't sucessful.  I am grateful for any help. Thank you.  :$

Fixed!! 😃.  I am so thrilled. However, now I have learned that a lot of apps are accessing other places on my phone that they shouldn't.  :@ But that being said, I am so happy to have this fixed.  The webroot support team was very prompt in answering (same day as a matter of fact).  I waited a few days before I checked for an answer because in the past when I posed a question on a forum it generally took a couple of days. So I learned that being more diligent on my part is a good thing.  Thank you for the link and your patience.  (No doubt I will soon be back with questions).  In the meantime I will continue to visit and try to learn more from other's questions and solutions.  I cannot express my appreciation for this forum enough.  Thank you.
