If you're setting up Webroot for the first time, you’ll come across two important 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽s: ""installation"" and ""activation"".
👉 ""Simple 𝒜𝓃𝓈𝓌𝑒𝓇:""
""Installation"" = putting the Webroot software onto your device
""Activation"" = unlocking the software using your license key so it actually works
Both 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽s are required. (+1-866-490-0338[US/OT]) ☎️ Installing alone does not protect your device. (+1-866-490-0338[US/OT]) ☎️ Activation is what turns on real protection.
