I finally got an email from a support person. I had uninstalled the version I was have no luck with because my version of Malwarebytes stopped loading or working at all.
The system rejects any free license because it sees the one that had the problem before. I am not sure why. Paypal refunded the May 2014 one so that is no good. But they did not refund the March 22 2014 one so that licenses is stilll good.
But it should not matter because a new free version license should override it. it does not.
Any ideas? I wrote and explained the whole paypal and license deal. I am Waiting to hear back.
any ideas?
