avast Transferable?
« on: May 16, 2014, 12:09:01 AM »
I have XP right now but I will be going to Windows7 soon.  If I upgrade from free service to a paid version can I transfer it to my new W7 when I get it?

Yes:
Uninstall avast from the old system, save your license file to a USB.

Install avast on the new system, copy the license file on the usb to the new system and use the same license.
