yes you can install. but you need to get the full installer. not the universal installer file available from avast.com or cnet. get the right installer from here : http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html scroll down the page and select the required language file. after installing and rebooting, you can connect to the internet and update. and get the free license here : http://www.avast.com/eng/home-registration.php

welcome to the forums

come back.

Post by: nmb on September 28, 2009, 08:48:53 AM: its like riding two vehicles with the same number. please use different legitimate keys on different pcs.

if you have more computers in your home(check pro family pack), then browse through the products in the link which i have given in the previous post.

Post by: nmb on September 28, 2009, 09:01:33 AM: no you can not use free edition license in pro family pack(pfp). you have to buy the pfp license. do not use the free edition license in pfp. get separate licenses for free home edition from the link which i gave you previously. but make sure it is for non-commercial and home use only.

Q: I have "avast! 4 Home" installed on my home computers and have entered the same license key on all of them. Does using the same license key on more than one computer harm the avast! functionality or updating capabilities in any way?

A: No, it doesn't. The registration of "avast! 4 Home" is implemented due to processing statistics. The same license key on more computers (provided they are used for non-commercial purposes and in home use only) doesn't harm the avast! functionality or ability to update in any way.

Post by: DavidR on September 28, 2009, 04:01:49 PM: For further clarification:

The Home license/registration key can be used on more than one computer in the same home, but each must comply with the same Home 'and' Non-Commercial use condition. So if any are used for any business/commercial (non-profit is still commercial) use no matter for how small/short a time then that computer should have its own Pro paid license.
