Hi there, first time on the forum,
i have Avast 4.8 free edition installed on my desktop PC running windows XP.
Can i also install the same programme on my laptop running vista, if i can whats the best way of installing it, can i download onto laptop and use the same reg key i got with my desktop PC or is there another way. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
you can use the same installation file or download it again - like you want…
but you have to use a new key, because it’s not allowed to use one key on more computers…
just register a new one!

You can use the same key ziggyzag!

Q: I have “avast! 4 Home” installed on my home computers and have entered the same license key on all of them. Does using the same license key on more than one computer harm the avast! functionality or updating capabilities in any way?
A: No, it doesn’t. The registration of “avast! 4 Home” is implemented due to processing statistics. The same license key on more computers (provided they are used for non-commercial purposes and in home use only) doesn’t harm the avast! functionality or ability to update in any way.
No, if the computer is Home and non-commercial, you can use the same key and the same email address to receive it.
Oops, Bluesman was faster…

Is your system date/time correct?
Are you sure you do not include the ‘last blank space’ in the paragraph while copying & pasting?
Maybe you could copy, save a text file into a floppy or USB stick and open it in the other computer.
Thanks Tech, i will give it a try.
Hello again,
Tried the links and checked the date, still not working, as for text files i would not know where to start, maybe you could explain.
Thanks
:-[ oh sorry for the wrong info!
Thought it would be like the pro-version…
Phew! Had me scared. Have it on 4 computers.
