Having to wait until expiration doesn’t feel comfy.
I was warned by the message, that the license for avast free home 4.8 would expire, so I requested a new license and downloaded version 5. In the new version I discovered, that I cannot enter the new license key, while the old key is not completely expired.
You will notice the warning 14 days before the expiration days, at that time there will be a change in the avastUI, Maintenance, Update section the Register now button should be present.
So you aren’t having to wait until it expires.
What does the current expiry date show ?
Problem solved.
The program just showed an update message, followed by an expiration warning, including a link to “registration information”.
The button for entering the license key showed up this time, at 13 days before expiration at 2010 may 1st.
License was succesfully updated.
Thanks for the feedback and a belated welcome to the forums.
