Have just reinstalled the free Avast and would like to change it to my paid for Internet Security. How do I do this?

You obviously saved your AIS license file, double click on that and it should enter it.

If you didn't save it - Resend avast License http://www.avast.com/resend-license-paid.php, you will need to enter the email that you used when purchasing the license, e.g. the one that the original email with the link was sent.

Thank you David. I didn't save the licence because I didn't know and still dont know how to. However, using your resend link, I now have my licence inserted and all is well, thanks to you.

You're welcome.

When you receive an email with your license file attached (license.avastlic, etc.) save it to your hard disk, from there make a backup copy saved to a USB stick. But you can get it resent as you have done this time.
