Yeap! That is the way it works. You have to click it to get your 3 years license though.

Three years is the longest license term or it has been for some considerable time, so I guess not.

Too bad it's very hard to get our friends to install avast!, most of them already have it installed and are afraid of uninstalling the program and install all over again. I asked almost all friends on my list if they wanted to do so and the response always was: No. I hope this situation changes soon.
In the mean time, if I may suggest here:

We should be promoted for making publicity as well, depending on where we do it a lot of people should see our propaganda and it should also count for new licenses. We could do it on websites, forums, or even here on facebook, there are a lot of security related pages and lots of potential users who think an Anti-Virus solution is not needed. Hell, we could even tell how security is compromised w/o an AV solution and how avast! does with 0-day malware. I could record a video, post it on Youtube and do a test of your software and show how it does better than other free solutions out there (and even paid ones!).

What you think?

As an avast user, not employee, but that simply isn't possible as this is results based not 'propaganda' as you call it there is no way to determine its effectiveness or even to check that it had been carried out and would require people to monitor it.

So I somehow doubt that this is workable or would be taken up.

I posted this same words on avast's facebook page yesterday, nobody answered except the page admin. This proves:

a) Most people out there already uses avast. As I worked as a technician myself for about 4 years, it's very hard to find people interested on helping a friend with this kind of situation, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", very hard to find somebody that would uninstall/install again if all is going fine with their PC's.

b) People are afraid to do so.

c) Along with theory A, some average users could use other antivirus solution. Again, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I gotta tell I tried, but it seems impossible. I really like avast, on my tests it even did better than some paid solutions. Problem is, buying it right now seems kind of pointless. In fact, buying any solution seems pointless since (according to my tests) it's free protection handles most 0-day plague very well. Another point is that I only use Windows to play my Steam/Origin games, all my work is done on Linux (I bought Kaspersky for 2 years). Not to mention my facebook friends list has less than 100 people (only close and relatives). I guess I'll just have to be happy with the free one =P

Anyway, great product, totally recommended.

Are we allowed to give away the license key as a present

Yeah, I think you can give it as a present but only in one hand. Anyway, I gave a 1 year key to my friend as a present 2 months ago. It works like a charm
