    Default Malware bytes

    Just updated this on my server which was using a key from a keygen. it updated and showed I was using the free product. I used the keygen again and added the key, it activated but then said there was a problem with my key. It asked if I purchased the key or got it from the internet but not to worry have a free years sub on us.

    Haven't activated yet, anyone else think it's a honeytrap?
    Weirdly I have used the same keygen on plenty of PCs and not had any issues.

    This is genuine. They are having a key amnesty to try and get all of the dodgy keys out of circulation. The amnesty is only likely to run for a few weeks so its worth claiming a key as soon as possible as after that blacklisted keys will just be blocked.

    My server updated but all my laptops and PCs say there are no new updates.

    I have actually got 3 legit license keys but it's easier firing up the keygen than finding them

    400 days for me with the PC. Clicked the not sure button. On the laptop clicked I bought and it reported as lifetime.
    Not sure, but like Mickey thought I'd used the same key on both machines.

    Will just have to wait and see, I suppose.

    Just don't download shite. Shite like keygens. The way you get this software for free is the reason for needing it.

    Thanks to Mule

    That is a good point. It's best to run keygens in a sandbox like an isolated vm if possible,
