Reinstall my avast! 4 Pro capability on my PC

[d_hemke]

Support Staff -

You will see from the email traffic below, that I purchased Avast! 4 Professional Edition for three (3) years.  I lsrecently suffered a computer casualty that forced me to reinstall Windows XP.  I also want to reinstall my Avast! program, but have been unable to re-register because I do not know what user name to use.  I have the license information, but still need the proper user name to re-register.  Can you help me?  Is there any way I can talk with your support staff?  Please advise soonest!

I followed the email below (several times) and keep getting the
following error message:

"You have entered an invalid user name or license code. Please try
again."

I have tried several different forms of my name and/or email address as
my "user name" without success. Can someone help me with what is needed
so I can re-register the download on my PC? Any telephone number I can
call to resolve this issue?

Frustrated,

Print this mail and save it for future usage, please.

Follow the instructions below for entering your new key into installed
Avast! program:
1) Start Avast! program and during memory scan press the "Registration"
button. There will be Registration dialog displayed. You can also find
this dialog in Simple or Enhanced user interfaces under About program
avast! -> Activation Key
2) Enter the key. (NOTE: if you are unsure when entering number 0 or
letter O, enter rather number 0 (zero)!) The best way to enter the
license key is Cut&Paste method - select entire key in this mail, press
Ctrl-C, switch to avast! registration dialog and press Ctrl-V. Then
press OK button and your avast! is registered.

It is recommended to update your virus database via the iAVS service.
Just click on the "flash" icon in Simple user interface or "flash" icon

My computer hard-disk had to be repartioned when I had to reinstall
Windows IP. How do I get my Avast! 4 Professional to be reinstalled?

Hi d_hemke!

First inmediately remove the License-key from your post! (via the edit-button).
Also I recommend to remove all other personal information (E-Mail,... and so on)

So why/what/where do you want to register?
You just have to install Avast! Pro and insert your license-key. (The string you should remove!)
This is for the Home-Edition and you already have a license key, so you don't need to register any more, but can see how to insert it to the program: http://www.avast.com/files/tutorials/insert_key.htm

Welcome to the forums, Donald.   

Actually, you should break all those email addresses to something like ...

support at avast dot com

gumpermd at verizon dot net

support at us dot shareit dot com

d_hemke,
Welcome to the forum.
Your post is probably the best example of "What not to do in a public forum"
You've revealed a valid registration key to every one and the only way to rectify this is to
invalidated that key and issue you a new one.
You've openly invited all Bots scanning this forum to harvest your email address and all other information about you
and start bombarding you with SPAM.

Please follow Davids advice and rectify your post and contact avast sales for a new registration key.

Maybe edit the original post removing the email and the last part of the key.
Also, you could say the story to sales@avast.com for further help.
