We are committed to client satisfaction and offer a generous 30-day return policy. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we’ll happily provide a full refund of the purchase price.
For more details, see our refund policy.
How can I renew or add additional devices to my subscription?
You can renew, enlarge or upgrade your subscription at any time.
- Start by logging into your account using your activation key (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
- To renew your subscription, select the “Extend” option and adjust the period or number of devices you’d like to cover.
- If you wish to add additional devices under the original expiration date, select “Enlarge” and adjust the number of devices you’d like to cover. We’ll match the expiry date and calculate the pro-rated price for your extra devices.
