invalid license key - too long

I use an old version of free avast: 4.5.
I reinstalled the OS and in order to update and use it I submited the e-mail but the received key is too long.
I don’t want another one, I’m happy with it, is light on my old computer and doesn’t conflicts with the firewall and antimallware software.

Thank you,
Cata

this is not supported anymore....

what OS do you run?
if you run W98 you can use Clamwin. http://www.clamwin.com/
ClamWin does not have realtime protection unless you also install ClamWin sentnel. http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamsentinel/
