renew registration

I Need to reformat my computer and reload the operating system but how do I get a a copy of my current registration of Avast (free edition) as the e-mail sent to me is no longer available. If I ask for another registration it says it’s already registered to this e-mail address so the program stays in trial mode. I guess I could set up another e-mail address but is there any other way around this ?

Why not register it from with in the program itself ???
Go to Maintenance and then select registration.

@ duncan49,

Make sure you are on the Internet when you follow Bob’s instructions above. You shouldn’t have to recreate another email address.
