Ok, I downloaded and installed Avast 5 free without problem until the registration process. I tried to register online, I filled the form in the Maintenance/Registration tab of the avast User Interface but when I clicked in the “Register Free License” button nothing happened, the registration window went idle for about 30min until I closed the program.
when I opened the program again to see if the registration was finished the program say I was already registered, yet the expiration date remained the same that I had before registratio,n wich in my case was 3 days after I installation (I installed in 2/10/2010 and my expiration date was 2/13/2010).
Now the expiration date has passed, the antivirus detects threats but can’t clean/delete them since its expired yet the program sitill shows the “Registered” label in the Maintenance/Registration tab and the “Register Now” button and the “offline registration” tile ARE NOT DISPLAYED so that I can’t enter a new license, the only option it gives me is to upgrade to Avast Pro/Internet Security (wich is no option since I had the intention of testing the program first).
I already tried reinstalling Avast 5 Free but the problem remains the same, my expiration date is 3 days away from the installation date, the program considers itself to be no longer registered but the display says it is and gives me no option to renovate/introduce a license file.
My question is How can I register an Avast free license in my computer?outside of the User Interface or How can I fix the program so that It will no longer consider itsef registered when its not?
I’ll really appreciate your help.
I’m running windows XP by the way.
