hey
can you tell me what is the difference between the home version and the professional version of avast?
afaik home can be testet 14months (and then you’ve to registrate again) and prof. version just 60days…
but which features has the professional version more?
best regards,

Compare Profesional and Home Edition: http://www.avast.com/i_idt_1018.html
Home version is free. It’s not a trial one. Just need a free registration for 14 months.
Trial Professional is available for 60 days.
Trial Professional is available for 60 days.
and then i have to pay for it, right? or can i activate it after the period of 60days again for another 60days?
No,its just for 60 days. You can reinstall it,but you’ll get only one more week. Not worth trying. Home Edition can be re-registered every 14 months without any limitations.
After 60 days or you pay or you stay (downgrade) with the Home version…
Second installation of the trial, like RejZoR posted, only for more 6 days (it’s the anti-piracy feature) 
well i could use a crack, but i won’t because it’s not worth it…
okie,t hx for your help, i’ll stay at the avast! home edition, it has features enough!
The problem with the cracks/keygens is that we’re downloading them as well. And as soon as we have it, you can be pretty confident that it will not work after the next program update (i.e. avast will simply cease working). 
From our perspective, having a program that can regularly update itself is a major plus in terms of fighting with piracy.
Just a question Vlk,
if someone finds a keygen/crack that is still working does Alwil wants it to be send to them? Just as virus examples not detected/false positives… And if so, where to send it to?
Not really, we’ve got them all…
Thanks anyway…
I think the same.
Vlk, can you detect if the same Registration Key is used in more than one computer?
You don’t have to answer here, could use the IM 8)

as i can see a lot of cheaters are in here, i’ll stay at the legal home-version and will also be satisfied
Well, I have the Pro version and I’m satisfied too 8)

I belive that when you update avast it checks your IP and registation code, if more then one computer is useing the same registation code, they simply disable avast (bit like nortan).
Also as vik said, they download the keygens/cracks themself, so there is probley some kind of blacklist on the avast server to block know (unligitimate?) registation codes.

IP’s cannot be matched with serials,because there is lots of dynamic IP connection users.
Not to mention all those applications with which you can change your IP through various proxy servers every x minutes.
Besides what RejZoR’s said, it’s impossible to check dynamic IPs, if you have a router you can have more than one computer, sharing the same external IP and Internet connection…
Yes, they work with blacklists.
Another option could be a hardware fingerprint,but i doubt they use it. Lots of “false positives” if user changes his hardware…
First, we can tell if a key is coming from a keygen or not (because we have all keys that were legally purchased in our database).
Next, we can also tell if a key is being misused. I mean, if it’s a key for 1 license of avast Pro and the update requests are coming from 20,000 different machines in 120 domains, we can be pretty sure the key was published somewhere on the Internet
Well, I have the Pro version and I'm satisfied too 8)
hmm, either you cheat (crack) or you pay (money)
i dont cheat and i dont pay, so i need the home version 
Next, we can also tell if a key is being misused.
are there any consequences for the person who has an “illegal” key?

At the moment, there is no court of law that will/can charge someone for a the use of a crack.
