[QUOTE="ChoiceVoice, post: 896931, member: 28876"] i don't think they have a lifetime anymore. when they announced the end of their lifetime lic i did buy one from ebay at that time (many years ago). the lic i bought was never used on anyone else's computer. it came in a sealed box. (basically, since malwarebytes was not going to sell them anymore, some guy bought a bunch and resold them) anything now would likely be from a used license that was previously installed. and the seller would still have the key, even after selling it to you. so you would have to trust him that he isn't going to sell it to other people too, or use it again in the future. eventually, malwarebytes will notice and kill that license and you could be out of your money. additionally, my license is a true lifetime. it is for my life, not my computer's life. i can transfer it from one of my computers to another. technically, i am not allowed to resell it. the real question would be if malwarebytes would know if the new computer is a new person (?). so your geolocation might be important compared to where that used lic was previously run????? basically ... they might have a way to know, but you would likely be fine. i think the bigger danger is in the ebay guy reselling it again and again. (but as always, i'm just talking out of my arse here, heheh) [/QUOTE]
