does the code for avast expire every 14months for the avast home edition? i read it somewhere and i dont know where i read it is it correct?
The code (application) never expires.
It will be free for lifetime.
But you do have to get a new key every 14 months to be able to get the updates.
Alwil does this, so they can get a impression on how many people are using the application.
so ill get a key every 14 months and i put it in ,it updates??
No Ricky… you have to visit avast! web site again after 14 months period is over, reregister again, and then you’ll get a new licence key which you have to enter again. Then your antivirus will work as it should work.
You’ll be notified when that period expires (you won’t be able to download updates), so you don’t have to count those days… ;D
so it wont work when the 14months period is over?
You will get a warning when you are near to re-registration period.
The program will continue to work, you just won’t be able to get Virus Signature Updates.
ah i see ok thanks
Sorry I made it sound confusing for you Ricky in here:
... ... ...Then your antivirus will work as it should work... ... ...
Your antivirus will work perfectly even when that period of 14 months is over, but you won’t be able to get updates, and that’s it… but, when I think about it twice… we could say, your antivirus will not work properly. Why ? Because there is no point in having antivirus installed if you don’t have latest virus definitions or program patches…
So, don’t worry. When that period expires, just reregister again and you’re good to go…
Cheers !
ok do you have to do the on the proffesional? thanks sasha
In the Pro version you only get 12 month and then you need to pay for another year once you do that you are sent a new key.
oh ok thanks avast team
