Title: DEACTIVATING AVAST LICENSES ON AN INACCESSIBLE COMPUTER.
Post by: bajjerfan on December 12, 2019, 05:52:59 AM
I have several Avast products that are each licensed for 3 computers. One of the computers has become inaccessible due to graphics issues. How do I deactivate the licenses that are associated with that computer? I can log into my account on my computer, but I can't find any way to deactivate any of the licenses except for the computer I use to sign into my account with.

Hi,

Since the one device is offline, you can activate the license on a new device.

Since the other licenses are all being used  will this show as a 4th license?

You should be able to assign licenses from your my.avast.com.  So you should be able to remove the association with the system with the graphics issues.

Unfortunately, I am unable to do that. I can log in and see that I have 3 licenses, but it doesn't list the individual  devices that the licenses are associated with.

Unfortunately, as an Avast Free user, I don't have a licenses section in my.avast.com, but from memory of what I had seen in the forums that function used to be available.

However, as r@vast mentions if that system isn't likely to come back on line, you should be able to activate the license on a new device.

Is there a way that avast can do that for me since I can't find anything where I can delete specific licenses on specific computers?

That  was of no help. All I got were instructions on how to install and activate the service on a new computer which I already know how to do. When that was done and the scan was run, when it came to the part  to "fix" the issues it found payment was requested.
