I,ve been using Avast Internet Security which would have expired(probably about one week ago) on my old computer with Windows Xp which crashed and have had to buy new computer & installed windows 7 & avast free antivirus on this.Would I need old registration number from AIS which I cant recover to register Avast Free antivirus or do I apply for new registration number. Many Thanks Johny1g
If your old AIS would have expired, there is little benefit in retrieving it, but it may well count towards a renewal discount. However, having installed avast free, you may find that there is an upgrade offer, which may be greater than the AIS renewal discount.
So it could be a coin toss as to which might be better.
- Resend avast License http://www.avast.com/resend-license-paid.php, you will need to enter the email that you used when purchasing the license, e.g. the one that the original email with the link was sent.
Now I don’t know if it being expired avast free would allow it to be entered, to possibly benefit from a renewal discount. But I don’t know if you would be entitled to a renewal discount considering the existing license expired.
So it may be better if there is an upgrade offer in the avastUI, Summary section.
