unable to get ais to recognize valid license

Greetings, I am unable to get updates for my copy of ais (latest). Initially I was using the 5.0 something version and it wouldn’t update the program or definitions. After spending a couple of hours I had to uninstall it. I installed it to the current version but it won’t let me update the definitions. The program says my license is invalid. I had the license resent but now the program says that license is invalid. What should I do next?
I tried to send in a ticket but the site won’t accept me as a valid user. ((

You could try the recently released version - Download the latest version of avast (save it to your hard disk), 5.1.889 - http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe and see if you have more success with that.

It may be best to do a clean reinstall using the uninstall utility also.

  • Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 4.8 and 5.x).
    1. Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 4.8 if previously installed and then for 5.x, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.

If you are still having problems with the license after the clean reinstall, contact sales (at) avast (dot) com and outline the problem.
