I renewed the Avast Licence yesterday using the "Renew Now" button on Avast. I received the e-mail with the licence and invoice, but when I insert the new licence, it does not update, but continues to tell me that the licence is about to expire.
Also the invoice has a $69 charge when the renewal notice showed a cost of $55,
I submitted a post to the Support Center, but have not received a response.
Each year, renewing the licence is a challenge! And it appears that Avast Support is non-existant!

Will this install a new version? I am leary of updating since most times, either the computer will crash requiring in a complete reinstall of Windows, or else some programs that previously worked will no longer work.

Will this install a new version?
The version you mentioned (7.0.1482) doesn't exist, so I guess you're already on 8.0.1482.
Therefore the answer is no, it'll be a clean install of 1482.

I installed Version 8. However, even after I insert the new licence, Avast will expire in 6 days.
There are no error messages to suggest that the licence did not install.

Are you saving the avast licence file to the desktop and then clicking it.. Does Avast then ask if you want to install the file ?
