ByePass Will Not Let Me Add More Than 5 Accounts

If you have purchased a service subscription for either System Mechanic Ultimate Defense or ByePass, you are allowed an unlimited number of passwords (accounts). If ByePass only allows you to create five accounts, you are currently running the Free version; the Free version of ByePass allows you to add up to five accounts.

Identify the version of ByePass

If you do not see the gold crown icon in the top right of the ByePass extension, you have installed the free version.

Another way to tell that you do not have the correct, paid (Premium) version of ByePass is that you will not have access to the credit card management feature (located in the left-hand pulldown menu).
