I would say that a clean reinstall really is the way to go here having experienced a problem.
Then you shouldn’t need to be able to read any of the number to install it, as I said:
You need to save that [b]license.avastlic[/b] file to your hard drive and double clicking on it should input the license into your free version.
Have you tried that, e.g. copy that file to your husbands hard drive and double click it.
