So I wonder why don’t you add an option to buy Avast products like Avast internet security with lifetime price. I am with Avast free antivirus for over 7 years or so and I never bought it cuz I don’t want to pay it yearly. I want to pay it 1 time and that’s it for lifetime subscripition. Make it good price for lifetime and I will buy it and i am sure other people will buy it too. It’s just sux to pay yearly. 1 payment forever will be awesome to add!
I am 23 years old so lets say i will live until 120. So that’s 97 more years to go.
97 x 19.99$ = 1939$
Do you really think I will spend 1939$ on an internet security? LOL
With 1939$ I can buy a new hardcore PC for gaming.
Just change the 3 years one to lifetime and I will buy it, if not I will just stay with the free antivirus. Anyways im 7 years with Avast free and never had any virus LOL
Well, either you will pay a lot (e.g. $4.000) for a lifetime license or avast will need to take the risk that they are loosing money and perhaps even go bankrupt.
There is no way to tell what will change in the future.
e.g. (not limited to) :
We were thinking about such offer, but later we dropped it as the price would be really huge. We understand antivirus more like a service and not as a static product. So it makes also more sense to charge it as service.
It’s called “Milking the cash cow” aka Consumerism. It’s really a doctrine and some people are so washed out, they can’t see straight no mo. For them… everything is normal and the people asking questions, they are the nuts. That’s why you’re getting funny answers.
So Zade my man, it’s a “Too bad… So sad” situationnnn.
Why no Life Time, apart that it would take an additional layer of administration to manage this money so that it generates all the necessary revenues for the established length of time. The price would be something like the aforementioned amount and nobody, very few, would actually purchase it. It would not be profitable.
Same thing with cars. They can design water pumps and alternators so they never… next to never breaks. An engineer does know that if he puts in a bigger bearing, it will last 400-500 km… then they wouldn’t make any money with you and he would be out of a job. But yes, cars can be made like aircraft. The garbage econobox would then cost 80 thou and the luxury sport sedan half a mill. It wouldn’t work.
That is why 9.95 a month sells way better than a single payment of ten thousand.

If you aren’t happy, there are choices. I’ve had free protection since 2003. So I’m the one that’s been doing the milking.
I also don’t know of any paid AV that offers to sell a lifetime license.
Lifetime license is also usually an indication of an impending end of the product. Sooner or later there wouldn’t be anyone to sell the license to.
Like I said… some people are so brainwashed by it, they can’t see straight no mo.

I didn’t say to delete the yearly payment. I said ADD a lifetime option. That way you have some ways to pay for avast internet security or premier.
Example of what I mean…:
Internet Security Subscription:
1 year - 19.99$
2 years - 39.99$
3 years - 59.99$
5 years - 79.99$
Lifetime - 299.99$
This is what I meant. I am sure people with high budget who have the money will go for lifetime subscription.
I really suggest Avast to do it. It is a good business strategy for people who got the money.
I bought a lifetime license for my firewall Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro and then someone bought the company. We were offered an annual license for a security suite from the company purchasing Agnitum.
Unfortunately lifetime is somewhat subjective, the lifetime of what.
Personally I don’t feel there would be many takers for a lifetime license at $299, given what I have said about lifetime.
Currently 3 years is the longest license you can purchase.
If there will be lifetime at 299$ i am going to buy it. and I am sure im not the only one. Yesterday I upgraded to internet security for trial time and the new version is awesome! I really want to buy it for lifetime.
