If you would like to install ZoneAlarm on another computer and ZoneAlarm will
remain installed on the original computer, you will need to purchase an
additional license at the discounted renewals rate here:

If the new computer is a "replacement" computer, then you do not need to
purchase another ZoneAlarm license. However, please uninstall ZoneAlarm from the
old computer first (if possible) and follow the instructions below:
Please follow the instructions below to activate, download and configure
ZoneAlarm. We recommend you copy and save these instructions as a Microsoft Word
document or text file for easy offline use.
First, download and “save” the latest ZoneAlarm installation file to your
computer:

Before installing ZoneAlarm, please uninstall all other add-on Firewall or
AntiVirus programs (assuming the version of ZoneAlarm you purchased has
AntiVirus protection), in order to ensure there are no conflicts with ZoneAlarm.
Failing to do so can result in problems with your computer and ZoneAlarm.
PLEASE NOTE: The Windows Firewall will be turned off automatically by ZoneAlarm
during the installation process.
Please locate the ZoneAlarm installation file you downloaded and saved to your
computer and begin the installation by double clicking on the installation file.
We recommend you accept the "default" recommendations while proceeding through
the setup options to ensure that ZoneAlarm is configured correctly.
When the initial setup is complete, ZoneAlarm will ask to restart your computer.
Please click “Restart Computer” to continue.
COPY and PASTE your license key into the license key area of the ZoneAlarm
Evaluation window and click "Authorize Key". Your license key would have been
emailed to you at your time of purchase.
Please do NOT attempt to type in the key. Due to the length and complexity of
the alphanumeric key, mistakes can be made very easily.
We recommend you choose the "Internet Zone" on the “New Network Found” setup
window. However, if you are on a private network with other trusted computers
and wish to share files, printers or other resources, you may wish to choose the
"Trusted Zone."
PLEASE NOTE: More information regarding networking is available in the ZoneAlarm
Help file.
The installation is complete. You can now close the ZoneAlarm window and
continue using the computer. |
