How do I upgrade from Free to Internet Security?
« on: October 14, 2015, 01:57:19 AM »
Hi all;

I had Avast Free on two machines.  I followed the upgrade process on one machine and bought the 3 PC Internet Security license.  That machine upgraded successfully and is now protected using Internet Security.

I go back to my other machine now, plug in the registration code, and all is good.  But my second machine says its still protected under the Free version. 

What do I need to do to upgrade my second machine?  Hoping for something more elegant than uninstall and reinstall.  Or am I just doing something wrong.

thanks

In that case you need to uninstall avast! free antivirus and restart the system and install Avast!IS 2015 from here:http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe

Again you are wrong Be Secure  :(

Jim,

simply put the license file on the second machine and double click it.
Or do the same as you did on the first system.

Please (re)search before asking.
