When activating Malwarebytes on a device with your license key, if you encounter an error message that reads, The usage level has exceeded the max volume allowed, then you have reached the limit of device activations allowed with your subscription.
To help with this issue, we encourage users to link their license to their Malwarebytes account to stay protected from misuse and control which devices have Malwarebytes Premium activated. To clarify, there is no change to your actual license. Any valid license is still valid for the amount of the computers it was purchased for and for the length of the time it was purchased for (including lifetime licenses).
A common misconception is Malwarebytes lifetime licenses are valid for multiple devices. However, lifetime licenses from Malwarebytes were only sold for one Windows device activation. Previously, we offered multi-PC licenses, but these were subscriptions that required renewals. Users who purchased a proper multi-PC license should not see the issue outlined above.
