View originalWebroot not renewing
I renewed my webroot security though best buy and saw the payment go throw two days ago but my webrot still says it's expired. I looked up my question and tried to do what I've seen in other boards but nothing is working. I tried to uninstall it but my computer said it was already uninstalled so it took Webroot off the uninstall programs list but when i tried to redownload Webroot just pops back up.

Oh you are very welcome. I have always felt a clean uninstall/reinstall is always the best from my perspective as well. I just wanted to show something else that might interest some. ;)
Thanks Sherry.
I always assumed that since we provide two seperate dowloads for the respective versions that they were different. If it goes by the keycode then I don't see the need for two downloads. But like you said, the OP said it changed for him. Personally I would still uninstall (delete wrdata folder) and clean reinstall, but that's just me. ;)
I believe TripleHelix agreed to that as well in that same post.

I was under the assumption that I heard from an OP that Support told him that he did not need to uninstall the BestBuy version because Webroot would recognize the keycode.

Thanks a bunch BD!;)@ wrote:
Hi Julie,
If I were going from a Best Buy version of Webroot to a retail version I would uninstall the Best Buy version first and then download the regular version from Webroot and then activate with the new keycode, since I'm pretty sure there is a difference between the two. (I say this because we provide links for BOTH versions) ;)

I believe all they should need to do is take the new keycode they received for 1/2 the price and activate it like normal.@ wrote:
Hello@
Hypothetically speaking, if a user bought a laptop at Best Buy with Webroot installed and later on was given a code for 1/2 off the price and the user purchases from Webroot sales dept, would the user run unto the same situation like@ did?
Thank you kindly.
