    Default Have license for the Spybot Home Edition but need download for the Spybot Home Editio

    I had to get a new PC as my old PC broke.

    I only see a download for the Spybot Free Edition which I downloaded, however, I could not find a place to enter my license to upgrade it to the Spybot Home Edition.

    I have my license for the Spybot Home Edition but how do I get a download for the Spybot Home Edition?

    Hello DonZ01,

    To retrieve your key if it has gone missing along with the license installer.

    I removed Spybot Free Edition and will not install it again until I know how to get the Spybot Home Edition working.

    I previously updated the Spybot Free Edition before removing it but there was no License Entry dialog box.

    What is the License Installer as I do not remember how I installed the Spybot Home Edition on my old PC as it was a long time ago?

    Default Windows 19 refresh - cant see where to input my license key

    Hi I just had to refresh windows 10 on my PC. Spybot is there but there is nowhere to put my old licence key in. How can I check if I am running the licensed edition, and if I'm not, how can I enter my key. Any help very much appreciated.

    It states the Edition on the Upper Left of the Spybot S&D Start Center.
    If it says Free Edition, you will need to request the License Key and Installer via https://www.safer-networking.org/lost-license/
