A serial key is specific to the type of Metadefender Core package. For example, a serial key for Metadefender Core 4 cannot be used for Metadefender Core 8 or 12. |
|
invalid unlock keys |

Unlock keys are tied to a specific serial key and machine where the Install Code was generated. Using an unlock key on a different system, or with a different serial key will result in this error. |
