If I using 2 computers with 1 licensed key of avast professional what will happen?
Will I pirate or not registered when I lend my license key?
-
Hi...
It's one key per copy (of avast professional,) so "lending" the key for another computer would be against Alwil's licensing standards and I guessing the EULA as well. I'm not sure what Alwil would do specifically in cases like this. Please see here...

May God Bless you! :)

"Lending" a license key is certainly not OK.
And yes, even using a single-user key on two of your computers is not OK.
-
However you can still install avast! Home Edition on other computers.
-
I have a 2 computers in my home and i'am using avast professional editon of the same computer and license key.
Is it ok?
If I will change my 2 computers to avast home edtion and with the same license key is it ok?

No, each computer must have it's own separate key. Please see Igor's response. ;)

I'm not completely sure on this. I've heard answers on this before but I can never seem to remember them for some reason...getting older. ;D Someone should be along to answer this for you....

If I'am a second user of the license key what will happen to my antivirus?

I have used my friend's key but my copy has been stoped .. what shall I do ??
-
Either buy a pro version or download a free version would be my opinion.

If the use of both computers is for Home and non-commercial use (both apply) then you only one registration key for both.

When does avast informed about license key when expiration is near? About 1week?
-
Hi...
With avast Home, there is no notification from Alwil that I'm aware of. With the professional version, I'm not sure. I would hope they would let you know before one week. ;D
Best Regards...
-
If I remember rightly there is a reminder starting 21 days before expiry and that is also in the Home version, though I tend to get a new key before that happens, so I personally haven't seen that.

David is right. The avast home program will start reminding you 21 days in advance of the actual expiration date.
I had that happen for me last week.
I am not sure about the pro version but I would hazard to guess that it would be about the same.

Hi guys...
Thank you for clarifying this, I'm glad they offer this service for the home version users too. :)
May God Bless you! :)

Hi...
You won't get any program or definition updates and most likely the program will bug you a lot. ;D

And left that way, your computer will get infected and your life will become miserable.
On the other hand, you could "down grade" to the free Home version.

That "down grade" has kept my computer safe for the past 4 + years. :)
Just get a free home version key if you qualify and insert it to change over to the Home version.
No need to un-install or re-install. The Key determines the type of license and version you have.
The protection to your system is the same. :)

Hi, just arrived here!
I have recently bought avast! Pro 5.0 and am unsure how to insert the Licence Key... in the download I got it wasn't clear to me which 'number' is the Licence Key.
Is it the very long string of characters labelled 'Licence Id'?
I tried inserting that but was told it was an 'Invalid Key' ????
Thanks
Roger .... (not a PC-whiz but not a thickie, either!!)

I'm sorry, but I don't appear to have received Pro 5.0 ....all I can see among my Programs is the expired Free 4.8.
I have had the License sent to me, but I cannot insert it into something which isn't,apparently here!
I have printed p7-8
(BTW I paid for it on 13th July and have an invoice for $47.54, from "Digital River element 5")
I need someone to talk me thru' this I think.
Any advice on who to call, please?
Thanks
Roger
-
Did you receive an email from digital river element 5 (or avast at about that time) ?
If the invoice email didn't give a link to download the license file, then I would have though there would be another email.
Does your ISP (or you) use an anti-spam filtering software ?

Also contact sales (at) avast (dot) com giving the details.

Thanks for the help, I think I have cracked it now....all seems OK :)
