How to enter your License Key

Overview

On Windows computers, the Antivirus will activate automatically upon download. On other devices, it will download a trial version from our website or from the Google Play Store.

If you are prompted to upgrade your subscription, it means you downloaded the trial version. This article will help you activate the fully licensed version of VirtualShield Antivirus on your device(s).
