If your version of MacKeeper is older than the one stated on our website, this means it’s time for you to update. Follow the instructions below to get the newest version of MacKeeper quickly and easily.
Before you update
1. Make sure your MacKeeper license is valid
If you are logged into MacKeeper with a valid license, you will receive an update notification that you can click right in the app. This will automatically update MacKeeper to the newest version. If you do not have a valid license for MacKeeper, you will be shown a special offer in the MacKeeper app to update with a license.
If you did not receive any notifications, there could be several reasons for this, but you may still be able to install the update.
