Title: When I I try to run the home version it tells me to buy the professional one
Post by: bosnja on November 18, 2003, 06:32:45 PM

This is what it happens to me... I'm using avast 4.0 since 2 months or so. Got my activation key, cut and pasted it. All was OK. But 2 days ago Avast showed a error message when it was updating, it said it could not update (the program or the database, I don't remember). Now eveytime I try to run Avast (ashDisp.exe), the message tells me to update to the professional version buying it. What has happening? How can I go back to the Home version I was using before? Thanks

If you don't succeed, try to

1. Download avast! 4.1.289
2. Desinstall your actual version of avast (Control Panel).
3. Boot
4. Use Avast Uninstall (http://www.avast.com/files/eng/avclear4.exe) for complete desinstallation.
5. Boot
6. Install the downloaded 4.1.289 version.

Anyway, if you need another licence key, the registration form can be found here (http://www.avast.com/i_kat_207.php?lang=ENG).

Thanks all of you! I did it (uninstal, boot and install the latest version) and it works. Now I'm using version 4.1.289 with the same activation key, and all is working fine. Thanks!
