avast home edition registration key not working. invalid key.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

i think the problem has something to do with 3 computers hooked up on the same internet.

in the “help”, i came up with this:
If avast! does not accept the key, you probably typed it incorrectly (again, we recommend that you use the copy & paste method), or the license does not match (e.g. the license key for a workstation cannot be entered in avast! installed on a server operating system). In such a case, contact the vendor of the avast! program or ALWIL Software support.

i registered, copy&paste the registration key into the box, then it tells me the key is invalid.

this is my first time downloading/registering.

much thanks for the help, ill check back soon.

tried a second registration key and still get the invalid key reply.

Go to the SSL page version and register from there: https://secure.avast.com/scripts/register.php?lang=ENG

See the tutorial: http://www.avast.com/files/tutorials/insert_key.htm
Please take a look here: http://www.avast.com/eng/faq-invalid-license-number.html

Is your system date/time correct?
Are you sure you do not include the ‘last blank space’ in the paragraph while copying & pasting?
Which avast version are you trying to register (Home or Professional)?

Please, post the last 100-150 lines of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

The log just say you’re not registering the Home version as far I can understand.
Did you try to use another email address through the SSL link page I’ve posted before?

ill install avast onto a different computer and try again. i dont have an avast icon in my toolbar like in the demo video, instead i have it on my desktop. i dont think there would be a difference, but ill try.
i am using yahoo as my e-mail, would that have an effect?

must i have admin control over the computer when i am registering? im fairly certain that i do, but not positive.

  1. The icon on the desktop is the shortcut to the program itself

  2. yahoo generally is ok to recieve a key

  3. yes you need admin rights
