Title: Register old Avast Product - Avast Home Edition 4.5.549
Post by: bugasanka on September 13, 2012, 09:52:13 AM

I have a old pc 1Ghz 128 Ram and I have already installed XP home edition.
I have downloaded the "Avast Home Edition 4.5.549" and installed.
My problem is I can not register this free product.
Please tell me a way.

Why would you install 4.5 when 4.8 was the last of the old versions, more so the latest avast 7.0.1466 should be able to run on your system http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#tab4

Hello,
I think it should be because of ending support for v4.8 or less.

ending support for 4.8 or less.

Any official schedule?
Wouldn't it be good to announce it?

Hi,

the "old" products v4.8 are supported till the end of 2012 only. From 1/Jan/2013 such v4.8 products will not receive the up-to-date virus database. All such customers should upgrade to new version of avast! products till that time.

It wouldn't hurt to announce this on avast! main webpage. Not everyone go to forums, especially not some special category ones...
