If you are trying to activate Fortect in your Mobile, Mac, or the Browser Extension, you do not need a key. Simply Log In to the app using the email and password you created during purchase.

Having trouble activating Fortect PC Suite? Whether you lost your key or getting an “Invalid Key” error, this guide will help you fix it in seconds.

1. Error: “Invalid License Key”

If you see this error while activating, check these common mistakes:

  • Copy-Paste Errors: Make sure you didn’t copy any extra spaces before or after the key.
  • Typo Check: Confusing the letter ‘O’ with the number ‘0’, or ‘I’ with ‘1’?
  • Device Limit: Your license is valid for X PCs based on your plan. If you used all your devices, it will fail. You can deactivate device from your account and then reuse the license key.
  • Expired Key: In case your subscription has been cancelled your license key will expire after 1 year. Click here to purchase a new subscription
