ActiveProtection

2.6

Uniblue’s ActiveProtection is a software support service which entitles you to enjoy a 
generous range of benefits including:

the latest software downloaded directly to your PC 
online expert support
cost savings over time
the ability to install software on three PCs
and much more 

When you purchase any Uniblue product you also receive ActiveProtection, for one 
year, from the product purchase date. At the end of your one year term you will then 
need to renew your product (so extending your ActiveProtection coverage) if you wish 
ActiveProtection to continue automatically updating your software for another year. 

Unless renewed, your Uniblue software will not be updated and will be unable to solve 
the very latest PC problems and system issues. Product renewal, and the extension of 
ActiveProtection, can be completed either manually, or automatically, depending on 
when you purchased your product and what options you chose.
