Unable to register
« on: January 01, 2005, 02:53:05 AM »
 :) A very happy new year to you!

Hello I am new to the forum.  I have just downloaded avast home and everything was going smoothly until I came to register the product.  The email was sent and I pasted the code into the appropriate box but was told that it was invalid.

I would be grateful for some help please

Precious x

Sorry Precious but your pb is...amazing
The better way I think is to reload Avast! home edition and re-install it...with a new license key :o

I'm having the same problem too. I have tried everything including cutting and pasting the key, manually typing in the key, registering, uninstalling and reinstalling and asking for a license again (three times from one email address and once from a different one). This resulted in two different keys but neither one works and after I installed the program the second time I can't even use it in demo mode it just closes.

I'm going to write to support.

I get the impression that the 'bot is not sending out valid registration codes/keys for those of us who downloaded and installed today, the first of January.

Will tech support proactively send out replacements or workarounds to those of us who attempted registration in, say, the last 9 and a half hours?

Hi and welcome darkcat
as you san probably tell there`s a lot of validation issues at present
all i can say as a forum member is its unusual to see this sort of problem but given the fact that its new year we may well not see a remedy until tomorrow so i can only suggest you sit tight and stay in demo mode until the problem is fixed
your first notice would be in announcements forum probably
Hope this helps

Same problem here.

I was recommended this s/w, beginning to wonder why. What kind of a software company can't get something simple like this right. No wonder they give it away for free.

The choice is as it should be all in your hands . if you feel you can do better elsewhere then so be it. As i said in previous post this is most unusual .

my understanding is that when asked for validation key, you also have the option to continue as demo for 60 days if you have not registered product. i hope this is the case

Well, the first time I tried to open the desktop object, and all subsequent, it has asked for the registration code.  I downloaded and installed today (post midnight, local time).  I did not get the 60 day opportunity.  Not sure why.  I would love to put the application through its paces, and since it is at 4.x and climbing, I get the impression this is a fairly decent product.  I am not a fan of either Symantec or Computer Associate's offerings any more, though I am a fan of what Trend has from my days as an Exchange admin.
