Multible installations

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi.
I’m all new here, so please bear with me.
I have the free AVAST 6 installed on several PC’s (me and my childeren), all connected to the internet - ealier I could use the same license key on all of them, by intering the key “manually”.

Is that not possible any more - do I have to make a registration for every single PC?

When I enter the key AVAST politely says “Thank you for the registration”, but the expiringdate does not update (except for the first one) - still only 12 days left…

Any thoughts…

TIA
Kurt

From where you downloaded the key?

What version of Avast Free are we talking about? Are you still using version 4.8 ?

Which version of Windows are we talking about?

@ TheDane
How/Where did you try to register manually ?

If from the avastUI using the off-line option, try using the avast website directly - was this the link you used http://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus.php ?

If so then an email should have been sent, does your ISP/email server or you use an anti-spam application, if so check any spam folders, etc.

@ ady4um
The OP states using avast6 free

Missed it, thanks. Of course then your post is accurate, as usual.

You do not need a key for the free version of Avast…Just try putting in your email and registering and click send, should work, and “make sure you don’t go to trial version” which than asks you for the key…If that doesn’t work than try online as DavidR suggests…

Wrong.

@ Daris
Read the OPs post, they want to use the single key to use on several systems, so as not to have to register each one individually.

Hello again.
Sorry for the delay.
Years ago I registered on the Avast.com page and annually I make a registration update, then I qoute for a “resend license key” (then I get a mail with my license key) and earlier I could use this license on several PC. Now I can only use that key for one PC.

My system is:
Avast Free Antivirus, ver. 6.0.1289
Windows Vista 32-bit and/or Win 7

Regards
Kurt

Hi.
I’m really imbarassed - the key I was using was expired - shame on me…

So, the mentioned method is OK, when using the right key.

Thank you very much for the answers and I apologize for your inconvenience.

Regards
Kurt

No problem, the main thing is that your avast is sorted now.

I bet you will not make the same mistake again, so you also learned something into the bargain ;D

A belated welcome to the forums.
