Version: 2014.9.0.2006 Free Antivirus
My license is about to expire and I got an email telling how to do it, but the directions are inaccurate. This version does not seem to have a place to re-register. The email instructions I got are:
How to register?
- Open your avast! program via the desktop icon or Start menu
- Click ‘Maintenance’ in the left pane and from the unfolded submenu select 'Registration'
- Select ‘Register’ in the left menu
- Click the ‘Register now’ button in the main white area
- Select your option, fill in the form, and submit it
- You are then protected for another year.
Problems:
- There is no maintenance tab on the left pane. Tabs are Status, Scan, Tools, Store, My Devices, Help, Statistics, Settings
- There is no "Register" option anywhere in this program. I have looked everywhere. In earlier versions, this was easy to find.
- The only "Maintenance" options are in the "Settings" tab on the left pane, but there is no option to register anything. Options under this maintenance are "Auto-Cleanup", "Logs" and "Virus Chest", nothing more.
- At the top of the main "Status" window, it says I am using Free Antivirus and says I have 30 days left on my license, but there is no option anywhere to register it again. This seems to be a huge oversight as options to re-register an expiring license should be extremely easy to find like in previous versions, but it is nowhere to be found in this one.
