Your Windows license will expire soon

**DanielLMille** · 22 December 2018, 05:27 AM

I'm using Xara Designer Pro on my Windows 10 laptop. Everything was working fine but suddenly I started getting this weird "your windows license will expire soon" error in right bottom corner. It's really annoying when I'm working on something important.

How to get rid from it? Is it something with my software?

The problem is with Windows OS and not Xara Designer Pro.

If you don't have your activation key, then you can install 'ShowKeyPlus' from the Microsoft Store.
Use the key to re-activate windows.

NOTE: This is just information I found. I've not had to use ShowKeyPlus to do this. But, at least ShowKeyPlus is from the Windows Store!

I am not positive, but I believe that your message may be a scam/fraud. I don't think your OS EVER expires. I would check your system for possible virus's or malware. I get the same message via my telephone frequently from a computer voice. And it comes up on my caller ID as spam.

I will try & let you know if this guide helps me out in any way.

No, I am not positive that it is caused by a virus. However, 'something' caused the change in your system and I wasn't aware that it could have been caused by a Windows update. Hope you are successful in restoring your system. I know how upsetting things like this can be.

@Bob, I scanned my system few days ago only & uninstalled QuickHeal. I don't keep it installed as it make my system slow. Are you sure that it's because of any kind of virus?
