For me home or pro?
« on: April 04, 2006, 09:13:00 AM »
Hi, I'm a lawyer and I have a question. Can I use for my work and my professional study, the free version "Home" of Avast? What does it mean "Commercial use"? Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure if your using it in a buisness environment... you need to purchase Avast Professional.

Hi...

According to the Home edition download page:

"If you are not a home user, or you use your computer for profit, the avast! Home Edition is not licensed for such use, and you are asked to use the commercial version - avast! Professional Edition."

And to quote from the link Chocholo provided:

"Commercial", using our definition, would define ANY work done for a commercial aim (money is not the issue, nor is profit so, for instance, non-profit charity work would be commercial in nature.)"

As indicated from your answers, then I would say "No," you would need to uninstall the home version if you are currently using it and want to find another solution or upgrade to Professional if you want to stay with Avast.

Well, I guess a fair question deserves a decent answer.
Being a lawyer, I guess Grace expects a EULA with all the boring facts that EULA's use to carry with them.
My advice to Grace is to use the Home version to see if it suits her needs, as to determine if Avast! is worth paying for and as soon as she knows it, switch to the pro version.
Of course we all know that Avast! is well worth paying for  :), but for a new user, Alwil offers a great opportunity to find out .

I can't recommend using of free avast! Home like trial version of avast!, better is to use trial version of avast! Professional instead.

Maybe it is just me, but, I would think a lawyer would know what "commercial use" means.    ???
 A lawyer's own business is commercial in it's very nature.    ::)

Hi CharleyO...

Perhaps he/she was thinking in terms of using Avast on a system that was physically located at their residence but still using it for work related projects.

This might sound a bit far fetched but I've heard reasoning far more stretched.

Hi tednelly...

Yes, I know what the assumptions are....I was just trying to avoid them and give the person the benefit of the doubt ::)

Best Regards...
