Hi Susan,

Just for your information … years ago Malwarebytes used to sell a version that never expired, and its ownership is transferable. I’ve got one. I can’t easily send you a screen shot of the account screen that shows this because it includes my account number and keys but, believe me, it does exist.

I was disappointed when they switched to the present subscription model back around 1998, but they needed the subscription renewals in order to keep their project going.

It was licensed to one machine at a time, but they have been letting me move it from machine to machine down through the years. They won’t, however, let me extend its license to multiple machines even though the present version is normally licensed to three machines.

In case you hadn’t figured it out yet, my wife and I are ancient geeks. My wife (a CPA) was a principal at Anchin & Co. in New York for 40 years. We jointly wrote a 1040 tax program for the TRS-80 Model III back when CCH was still using Hollerith cards to input data to their Blue System III mini terminals.

Transferable to a new computer you personally own, not transferable to another user.  This user was trying to buy a person’s lifetime license and was probably trying to then resell it on ebay as a scam.

Does malware-bytes sell lifetime keys? – General Chat – Malwarebytes Forums

I was probably writing the input into the CCH input sheets when you were writing that software
