Issue:
I have renewed my F-Secure SAFE license, but my device shows license expired.
Resolution:
You might have purchased a subscription for a different product:
Check the product installed on your device. If the product installed on your device is F-Secure Internet Security, then the subscription that you've purchased is for a different product.
In this case, you need to uninstall F-Secure Internet Security from your device, and install F-Secure SAFE. Read our guide how to uninstall F-Secure product. Skip to the next step if this is not the case for you.
If the product installed is the correct product for the subscription purchased:
- Make sure that you have renewed an existing subscription instead of purchasing a separate new subscription. If you suspect that you might have purchased a separate new subscription, contact F-Secure Support for further assistance.
- If you use the login through Facebook, please verify you have installed SAFE from this account and not from the one with "normal" login.
- Try restarting your device, the product may just need to be refreshed to connect to our servers.
If your F-Secure account shows the correct number of devices and restarting your device doesn't fix the issue, follow the steps below:
