Advice Request Lost my 3 years Subscription

[Shadowra]

for those guys who's license got revoked, was your account freshly created or did you use the code to extent the license already existing ?

For me it was an account I already had.
In my friend's, he still has it with a recent account.
But at another, friend license deleted with new account too.... It's random

My three year extension was deleted last night (US time) and it was on my existing account which still has my originally purchased time remaining along with another 7 months from another code that was shared here.

My recent 3 year F-Secure giveaway license days reduced from 1300++ days to 270 days, Anyone experienced that?

Same here, you can see the same thing happened to many others here: Q&A - Lost my 3 years Subscription

F-Secure has such partnerships with Internet companies all over the world, usually the software is available as paid option for lower tier plans and free for higher plans. I am not from UK so do not know the exact terms and conditions but I can provide screenshot of the Virgin Media logo on this F-secure account promo:

Unless one actually is a 100% genuine Virgin Media user/customer, then anyone that got the previous license offer by sidestep/bypass with VPNs automatic risk getting their licenses revoked/set back to a default that in a worst case can become , zero/0.

This is not anything brand new and extra not from F-Secure, as a couple of years ago they came down hard on a license offer for their VPN Freedome. It got severely abused and misused and they started to loose money on it. I wouldn't be too surprised if it's a smilar case also this time.

True for both.

Yes, This is what I am saying, F-secure has all the rights to revoke these Virgin Media UK license. The only curiosity is to see if it gets revoked for everyone or only a few, almost everyone redeemed that code here.

Mine is still working until 11.09.25

I'm lucky so far, I have used my older user account of F-Secure, but all license days were added with "keys" due to promotions...
We will see what happens on upcoming weeks, I will report when "license days are gone"

Same boat here as many…. Lost time too. Thru August 2023. Guess it was bound to happen. Still LOVE it, and will get another subscription from Serialcart when the time comes.

Peace to all

That's what I'll do when my license is over at the end of October

I created a new account to get the multi-year deal (I'm in the US) and so far it's still going strong. That being said, if they ever kill the account I'm using, I'll just go back to the F-Secure Beta I've had free access to for the past few years.

So far I still have my 3.5 years worth of subscription, let's hope I keep it lol.

I think this is probably the right answer. Licensing over a VPN is a type of Lifehack, and it's a little different than the intent of the company selling it.

Castrated subscription

On February 09, 2022, I activated a 3-year subscription for 5 devices. Until February 09, 2025.

I understand his frustration. However, I think it is not F-Secure but the agency that provided the service that should be inquired about.

what happened? you still have it lol?

 

[silversurfer]

Yeah, looks like I was lucky "subscription is valid until 30/04/2026" at least for now... As I said earlier, this promotion-key was added to my older user account of F-Secure, may that's the reason why it's still valid in my case, but I dunno it's just my guess

 

[Back3]

My three-year subscription is still running. I created a new account for this promotion!
