ihave downloaded avast professional edition 4.6. i forget where i downloaded it from. i did not need a key because it was a 60 day free trial. it has expired. i tried to go to their site and find out how to get a key. can not figure it out. also will i have to uninstall trial download first? should i call them and get a key?
You can purchase an avast! Pro key and insert it in avast!, no need to download it again. More info, here: http://www.avast.com/eng/buy_avast_4_professi.html
You don’t have to uninstall avast but only insert a new key.
You won’t be able to continue using it like a trial (second period) as there is a antipiracy feature to avoid this.
i would like to thank every one here for your help. when you have the trial version it is hard to go to the avast site and figure out how to get the key to register. if you are buying new and do not have the trial version already installed and already expired it is easier. i finally went to this site, http://avast.com/eng/united_states_of_ame.html and then got a computer company in my state of ga. and actually called them and i went to their web site and they told me how to pay them and get the registration key. after about 3 calls to them i finally figured it out. some one with little computer knowledge i think would have a very difficult time doing what i did this morning. thanks for all the help.
the link given by spyros is the easiest way to buy a key… you don’t need any kowledge in computers to buy online… ::). Then you just have to cut/paste the key at the start of avast! main program (during memory test).
Good luck !

@ gunapam12,
I think you meant to post a comment “should i call them and get a key and sent my email id prasadmally143@gmail.com” and not put your comment inside someone else’s quote.
First, I would edit your post by removing your email from both the post and your Profile (top of main page, 4th tab over from left > Account Related Settings > check the box that says “Hide email address from public?” so no one can hijack your email address or use it for spam.
