Activation Code issue
« on: March 07, 2009, 10:06:52 PM »
Hey everyone ok I am not able to activate my avast with the activation code.

I did go through the support to see whats going on and anything I might be able to do for self help but I cant get it to work.

First I am using Vista Home Premium x32 bit

Ok so yeah I installed first but forgot to do as admin so I uninstalled then reinstalled as admin. 

What the issue is when I copy the code from my e-mail and try and paste it, then it cuts off the last digit. 

I read the faq and it said this is in the older versions but I downloaded the newest version twice to make sure.

Has anyone had this issue and been able to resolve?  Also I checked my date and time which is correct and I have sent for another reg code which didnt work. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Cuts off the last digit? ???
See the tutorial:  http://www.avast.com/files/tutorials/insert_key.htm
Are you sure you do not include the 'last blank space' in the paragraph while copying & pasting?
Which avast version are you trying to register (Home or Professional)?

Can you post the first part of the serial number (the part before the dash)?

I am also having the same problem.
I have just received my license key after downloading and installing avast! home. I copied and paste into the license key area as instructed, the resgistration area drops the last character in the sequence and reports "license key invalid". I tried to manually enter the key but this does not work either. I also re-registered online but received the same key by email whic hof course does not work either.
Any ideas or suggestions
the first half of my key is

Erm... it seems that the number of registered users is so big that the license key (containing a "customer number" part) "overflowed" and is one digit longer now...  ???
I'd suggest to wait a few days; the problem has to be fixed on our side.
Sorry for the troubles.

Well this is no good.  Ok if thats what has to happen then so be it.  Can someone at least e-mail me when it is up and going? BTW the support center isnt loading for me either so I couldnt submit a ticket =(

I am having the exact same issue.

As per the suggested help, I downloaded the newest version and tried the key again.  The key that is sent out is one character more than the field will allow.

Any ideas....

There should be time for this to be rectified as the trial key that comes on the new installation is good for 60 days unrestricted use.
