This topic explains how to upgrade from F-Secure Internet Security to F-Secure SAFE.
If you are currently using F-Secure Internet Security and need to renew your subscription, we recommend that you upgrade Internet Security to F-Secure SAFE. With SAFE, you can protect all your devices, not just your Windows PC computer.
Note: We recommend that you upgrade the current subscription to SAFE as close to the expiration date as possible. As F-Secure SAFE is a different product, the remaining days on your current Internet Security subscription cannot be transferred to the new SAFE subscription.
To move from F-Secure Internet Security to F-Secure SAFE:
-
- When it’s time to renew your subscription, select the F-Secure SAFE buy option either in the email that you have received or on the product web page.
- Go through the purchase process until you are asked to create a My F-Secure account. F-Secure SAFE subscriptions are accessed through the My F-Secure service.
- Once your purchase is complete, select Create an account for My F-Secure. The account creation page is displayed.
Note: You can also create the account via the link in the order confirmation email.
- Create a My F-Secure account:
-
- Fill in your name and email address in the relevant fields.
Make sure you enter your email address correctly, as it will be used as part of your login credentials.

- Select Accept and create account.
You are redirected to the My F-Secure main page.

Your account is confirmed and created.
Note: Make sure that you enter your account password correctly. To check there are no typos in your password, tick Show password.
