It was time to renew my free version of Avast, this i tried to do. The Register now link does not work, so i used the offline registration which appears to work. I entered my information, and was then emailed a licence key. This i copied and pasted as per the instructions into the registration box, and was met with the information "is not a valid licence key!" I checked that i had copied and pasted it correctly; redoing it several times, all to no avail.
I then requested for the key to be resent to my email, it was, it was exactly the same as the first key, and it once again informed me that it "is not a valid licence key!"
Current version of program is: 2014.9.0.2021; Update version is: 140908-0.
I have done a repair program on Avast and tried the key again, it is still not being accepted. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
