This article will help you to reactivate your G DATA Antivirus, Internet Security or Total Protection if it’s already installed on your PC but the license has expired.
If the license of G DATA has expired, you can reactivate it without having to reinstall the software.
You simply need a valid Registration Number or Login Credentials (User Name and Password).
If you have purchased a brand new license, use your Registration Number to activate the software, however if you have already received your Login Credentials you should use those instead.
If you have just purchased the product but do not know where to find your Registration Number, check the following article:

If you do not know where to find your Login Credentials or you don’t know if they are still valid, check the following article:
