I purchased a one year extension for Avast 7.0.1426 and installed the adaware96 programme that was sent.
This did not automatically update the expiry date of my programme. (due June 7!)
I was given a license key with 5 blocks of numbers. But I need either an activation code (with 3 blocks of data + other info.) or a ‘avastlic’ file?
Any Ideas?
Where did you purchase the licesne from? All license files will be avastlic or you would have the activation code if you purchased a boxed retail package.
Only purchase from the avast website or your local Reseller.
I obtained the licence by accepting this offer!

Well, Ad-Aware Pro is something completely different than avast! Pro…!!!
Two companies, two products…!! 
So, you can’t update your avast! Pro with a license from Lavasoft.
That answers my question; I will thank you in a moment (when I have wiped the egg from my face 
Many Thanks ; John
You’re welcome.
