ZoneAlarm Installation Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and solutions to help you with installing your software.
Installation Problems:

Remove Conflicting Programs

Solutions
How do I uninstall conflicting security programs?

If you got an error message telling you that you cannot install until you remove a specific conflicting security program, see Uninstalling Conflicting Security Programs

Why?

Security features from different products sometimes overlap causing computer problems. ZoneAlarm automatically detects many conflicting third-party security programs. Since these programs provide some of the same types of protection that ZoneAlarm provides, you won't need them if you are installing ZoneAlarm.

I need help with finding or entering my license key.

If you have purchased ZoneAlarm, see the License Key Help.


NOTE: Trial versions don't need a license key.



Solutions
How do I get the latest version?

To get the latest version of your licensed product:

  • In ZoneAlarm, click Overview | Preferences.
