The RUNIC GAMES patch and most partner patches should allow you to upgrade from 1.12b to 1.15 without requiring you to reinstall or reactivate your game. You can run the 1.15 installer and it will update your existing installation. Some partners (for example, Wild Tangent) may require you to uninstall your existing version and install the new version after downloading it from their site.
For all partner patches, existing characters will still be usable after the patch.
