Missing AVAST license file
« on: March 26, 2013, 09:11:13 AM »
Couple of days ago I purchased AVAST internet security (Order #21673038924).  I got an email confirming my purchase but I didn't receive the License File.  I won't post my order details here since it contains my personal information but here the second half of it:

B) avast! Product Installation Instructions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already installed the avast! Internet Security on your PC or if you are upgrading from the avast! Free Antivirus, please go directly to step 5.

1) If you have not done so already, please download the installation file from the following URL:
http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe


2) To install the program (once downloaded), double click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. We recommend that any other applications are closed before installing the program.

3) After installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer - please do so, remembering to save any work you may have left open in other applications.

4) After your system has restarted, you will see the orange avast! icon in your system tray, near the clock (on the bottom right-hand side of the screen).

5) Together with this message you have also received a copy of your license file. Download your file and save it now to a secure folder on your hard drive and create a backup copy of it in case of hard drive failure. This file is necessary to activate your avast! Internet Security.

6) To insert your license, double click on the License.avastlic file and your license will be inserted into the avast! program automatically and your avast! is activated.

Alternatively, you may insert your license file manually by following the instructions below:

Double click on the avast! icon and choose the “Maintenance” tab from the program interface. Click on the “Subscription” option and then click on “Insert license file”. Navigate to the license file saved in step 5) and then click OK. Your license file will be inserted automatically to activate the program.

NOTE: Your license is valid from the day of purchase not the day of activation.

License File does not exist

"License File does not exist"  Whats does that mean?   I bought the product directly form www.avast.com, which directed me through digitalriver.
I've contacted sale@avast.com and 30 hours later haven't heard anything from support.  I'm not asking for a totally new license file just the one i paid for.  I should also add that the "RESEND LICENSE FILE" does not work for me, even right after the purchase when it is safe to assume I do own the product.

Hi, I have got the same problem.
My order reference number is 12790103160.
I can check my purchase information but I have no license file and resend license says that I have no license.
