How to get the server list to load for version 3.x

1. Close or quit ExpressVPN if it’s open.
2. Open My Computer and browse to this directory:
   • On Vista or Windows 7:
     C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ExpressVPN\elc.dat
   • On Windows XP:
     C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\ExpressVPN\elc.dat
3. Inside the ExpressVPN folder, please delete the file named: “elc” or “elc.dat”
4. Re-launch ExpressVPN and wait for the server list to get updated.

If the server list still won’t load correctly (even after deleting the elc file), please delete all the contents of the ExpressVPN folder, then re-launch ExpressVPN and try activating the software anew.

NOTE: The AppData or Application Data folder is hidden by default.

If you can’t find the folder, then read on to find out how to unhide your hidden folders.
