Where did you buy it?
Which is the file name and extension?
In theory, if you double click the license.avastlic file it should be added...

The email you received should contain an attachement called "license.avastlic" -right?
Save that attechement to disk, e.g. to "My Documents".
Doubleclick on that saved file - done.

If that does not work:
Open Avast by clicking on the red ball with "a" in it in your system tray.
Go to "Maintenance" tab, "Subscription".
Click on "Insert License File" and navigate to the place where you have saved it.
Click "OK".
Done.

If that won't do also, we need detailed information about the problem.
Please come back here and give us input.

See, in my view, First, Delete the old anti v from your PC then Install it again.

But, if you have same anti v in your PC, you must up date it.

I have also avast in my PC and working well.
