Well it is hard to say this might ‘not’ be happening, at first I though it might be something to do with 17.2.2288 not having a link in it to your my.avast.com account. So the device isn’t connected to the account.

But that thought got blown out of the water when I connected to my.avast.com account using my browser.

The one that is shows as being on-line is this XP Pro system with 17.2.2288, but this system is my main system and I also use it for beta testing. So for some time it had previously been connected, I don’t know if this would be the case if I did a clean reinstall.

Firing up my win10 laptop with avast free 12.3.2280 and logging in to my.avast.account and I can see both systems shown as on-line.

My other two systems a netbook and a Nexus phone show as off line, the netbook doesn’t get used much now I have a new laptop, but the phone shows a connection a few minutes ago when I last used it.

So for me it appears to be working.
