How to activate an already installed G DATA product for Windows

This article will help you to (re)unlock your already installed G DATA product after your previous license has expired

If your G DATA license is shown as no longer valid, you can reactivate the license without reinstalling the actual program again.

All you need is a valid, unused registration number or valid access data (username and password).

If you have purchased a completely new license, use the corresponding registration number for activation.

If you have already received new access data, enter them into the software.

If you have recently purchased your G DATA product and do not know where to find the registration number, you may find the following article may help you: How to find your G DATA registration number.

On the other hand, if you don’t know how to get your credentials, we recommend this article: How to find or request your G DATA credentials again.

Your new credentials will be automatically entered into the software, and your G DATA product will now update itself regularly, so that you always enjoy the best G DATA protection.
