Hi,

Are there any plans to implement some edition of this Cloud based Avast for education? 
We are currently using the avast edu version with a local server install, however the cloud-based would be a great alternative and be much easier to manage and use.

Is there a way to use my SecureLine license on this version
If so, how do I activate it
Solved. I downloaded the standalone version and used my existing license.
