Dear MacGyver (ehm, fake
![Wink ;)](https://forum.avast.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
),
let me explain this: we issue the HOME keys with the following properties:
- expiration of the program: never
- possibility of updates: 1 year from issue date
After the year, you need to re-register to get a new key. This is just a routine check that you're still actively using the software - the registration process takes no more than a minute or two
![Kiss :-*](https://forum.avast.com/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)
so I really don't think there should be any problem

Since we've been providing the free service already for about 18 months now (> 1 year), lots of our HOME customers would certainly testify that it really works as described - i.e. they got a brand-new key after re-registering on our pages.
Hope this helps,
Vlk
