Offline registration not available
« on: April 01, 2017, 12:46:32 PM »
Hi all,

today I installed Avast Free (german version 17.2.2288 (build 17.2.3419.0)) on my (always offline) Windows XP PC as replacement of Avira, which doesn't support XP anymore. Everything seemed to be fine, but I dont have the offline registration tab in the settings. As it is my very first Avast installation, it is still not registered with 30 days left for registration (but the progress bar is also not shown, just the four corner tiles).
How can I enter my license key Avast already sent me?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I looked into the config.def-file and Alpha-licensing should be disabled (Enabled=0). Nevertheless how do I register the program offline? Offline-registration is missing, I don't have a license file, and the new licensing engine (with which I don't get the slightest idea, how offline licensing should work with this) shouldn't be active. I'm really confused...

I'd suggest to wait, if it doesn't auto-register after 30 days, let us know.

Ok, Avast is still unregistered and the license runs out. Solution seems to be connecting to the internet, which won't happen with my WinXP. What's next?

Ok, today I downloaded the current version and updated the program. Same problem, there is still no option to enter the offline registration code (see attached screenshot). Any help?

Why don't you simply connect the system to the Internet and click on register ?

Because it's a WinXP machine.

How to do that offline? As mentioned above, the PC gets access to quite a lot of USB-sticks, but I will not connect it to the internet. Never. So I need a solution for true (!!!) offline (!!!) use.

I don't see why not.
If you are worried about security, nothing is and never will be 100% secure.
Next to that it takes less then 1 minute to register.
You can disconnect the system after the registration.
