your website says 60 days trial. how come mine expires in 6 days? i just downloaded it TODAY.
i downloaded the same software earlier today. it gave me 59 days. but uninstalled it. THEN i reinstalled it. after that i only have 6 days left. how come?
Did you change (or any virus change) your system date/time?
An antipiracy feature avoids the use of the Trial version for more than 60 days. So, from your first install to the second, does the system date/time changed?
no change of time.
the time is correct.
I think you answered the question yourself. Avast gives you a 60-day trial only once, so that no-one installs it again & again for free (the Professional version at least, since you can get a free registration code for the home version for 1 year). Since you uninstalled it and installed it again, the program thinks you have already used the Pro trial once & won’t allow you again. You can send alwil sales department an e-mail for another key, by explaining them what happened & if the 6 days trial is not enough for you, Maybe they’ll give you some more days…
Problem is the date more than the time.
But, Spyros gets a better explanation than I could found 8)
This has been covered before and Spyros wins a coconut for the his answer, once you uninstall the avast during the trial period, it is assumed that you have concluded the trial. This is also an anti-piracy feature as Tech mentioned (another coconut) to stop it being uninstalled near the end of the trial and reinstalled in the hope of getting another 60 days.
I did that. They didn’t respond. I guess the answer is no. Oh weel, that sucks.
I don’t know when you contacted alwil sales but I have in the past and took about 3 days to get response. 
I think that 6 days are enough to try avast! 4 Professional features and also to test its compatibility with your system.
Additionally I think that we generated some 20 days demo key for you yesterday.
gee, i hope i get a virus during these 5 days so i could test how good this software works.
If you want some virus to test AVAST so here is link to EICAR (standard file for testing of AV)
i didnt know theres such things
awesome
thanks
What I would like to know is why you uninstalled it in the first place?
I uninstalled it because that was not what I originally wanted to install. I wanted the FREE version from Download.com. After uninstallation, I asked myself what the paid version offers. So I went to the website and saw some good things about the PRO edition plus the 60 days trial so I thought “what the heck, I might as well try it”.
So I reinstalled and you already know what happened.
In AVAST kind of av that you have installed depends on what key you have.
For the first it good to try Pro and then register and get key for the Home.
Then enter that key in Pro so it will be updated to Home on next update.
And here is Pro vs Home
