Title: New registration code
Post by: offmdan on July 12, 2005, 02:17:29 PM
Installed latest AVAST with old code.
Now have new one but it won't record or keep it. 
The old one shows that i'm still good 'till October 2006.

Are you using Professional version or Home?
If you copy & paste the new code (without the last 'blank' space in the sequece), won't it work?

Tech, i'm using Home free edition.
Have tried to copy new code without the hyphen and nothing happens.
Have noticed that updates are still ongoing with old code.  Will this continue indefinitely?  That is the question!

Doubt it, I gave my avast! home edition a new code and it stay in fine.  Did you try repairing avast! by going to remove program, click on avast!, click change/remove, and scroll down and click repair? See if you can use the code.

Fixer,

Did try to repair as you suggested but no option to enter code is made available there.

no, after you repair, then you run avast! and try to insert your code again.

Fixer,

Still a no go situation.
Best will be to un-install completely or simply wait for it to tell me that the old code won't work anymore.  Perhaps then it will be possible.
