I downloaded Avast Internet Security ver 17.7.2314 (build 17.7.3660.241) and installed it on my Windows 10 x64 Home laptop - no problems. When I went to activate it using my license file, it won’t activate.
Step 1) In the subscription section of settings, I click “Insert license file”, then browse to my file and select it.
Step 2) The subscription info comes up saying I have 166 days left. I click the “activate” button.
Step 3) An orange circle spins around forever, and nothing happens. I left it for 30 minutes thinking it might just be slow, but nothing happens.
When I reboot, the subscription info never saves, so it says I have a trial. I have installed/activated Avast on this laptop at least 5 times and never had this issue before. To try and resolve, I uninstalled AIS, ran the Avast uninstall utility in safe mode, cleaned up junk files, scanned the registry for any leftover Avast files, and reinstalled. The issue persists.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
