Hi,
Installed Avast 5 free onto friends computer. It came with 15 day trial period. Took 4 attempts and many days to finally get a licence key via email (1st 3 attempts did not exist when I tried resend key).
Anyway, now that the trial has expired, the “insert the licence key” button as shown in all help does NOT exist.
There is a place to insert “licence file” and “activation code”.
Do I have to unistall and start from scratch?
Have searched help and forum can’t find this specific answer.
The free avast 5 program has a 30 day trial then you have to register, it doesn’t require a license file, that if for the avast Pro and Avast Internet Security paid applications; so it isn’t applicable to the free version unless you intend to upgrade to the avast Pro or Avast Internet Security application.
In the Maintenance, Registration section what does it say relating to date of registration and expiry date, see image.
If the Current Status isn’t saying Registered and there is no Register button (image2) then you may need to do a clean reinstall and then register.
