Avast Pro - What's included ?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently testing Avast! 4.8 Pro since 15 days and I’m really pleased with it. I’m thinking about buying it with a 3 years “Maintenance contract” but I would like to know what exactly is included in this 3 years subscription. Question may seems a bit dumb but I’ve already seen some strange software subscription plans where in fact, some major things were not included…

I think the maintenance contract covers at least a X years AV database upgrade (with X from 1 to 3 depending on contract length).

  • Does the maintenance contract also covers the update/upgrade of the program in its entirety (i.e. the whole Avast! Pro “package”)?
  • Is it limited to version 4.x ? (or the current 4.8 version than I’m interested in ?)
  • In case of a release of a new major version (i.e. version 5.X and subsequent releases) would it be possible to upgrade without any additional costs from v4.X if the maintenance contract is always valid ?

Thanks a lot! (and sorry if it seems obvious…)

Hi Endymion!

The Avast! License allows you to do any update/upgrade in the time-period you buy.
That means that if you buy the 4.8 Pro you can upgrade to 5.0 Pro (which will come later this year) for free.

There also should be a possibility to upgrade from Pro to the Avast Suite (with firewall and such things…) which will come later this year, in an inexpensive way…
