I downloaded, req and installed Avast home today and have yet to recive a key in email.
Thanks.

First there is no immediate rush as you have 60 days unrestricted use (trial) before having to input your registration key. The Home version Registration should send the email out almost as soon as you have completed the registration.
Do you or your ISP use an anti-spam filter ?
This is the most common reason emails go missing, if you/they have add register(at)register(dot)avast(dot)com or avast.com to the white list, check their Spam folder and see if it is there.
Try registering again but using a different email address (different domain name), many succeed in getting a free email account from Yahoo and receive the email almost immediately.
Tried that. Still no key.
Emailed Avast this AM. No answer yet.
Are they on vacation?
No they aren’t on vacation, but have you thought that even if they get your email, you might not get their reply in the same way as you aren’t getting the registration email.
So you tried a Yahoo email account and not just a different email address from the same ISP ?
Or are you using the Hotmail address as that should also get through to at least any Spam filtering, in which case it should be in the Spam or deleted email folder/s.
Other than this I’m at a loss as to what else to suggest.
I never use my ISPs email.
I tried from both hotmail and gmail. Same results.
I’ve put avast on a lot of my computers and this never happened before.
It has never happened to me before either, so all I can suggest is another link, I don’t know if you will have any greater success, see below.
Are you able to enter the security characters from the image into the form, though if you didn’t or input incorrect characters it would give an error ?
- SSL Registration Page: https://secure.avast.com/scripts/register.php?lang=ENG
That did it thanks. ;D
Bill
You’re welcome.
I wonder why the standard registration page fails sometimes, but the secure one doesn’t…
I have often wondered that, but no closer to a reason.
