Upgrade
« on: June 24, 2017, 09:18:45 AM »
 I recently came back to Avast! Antivirus after trying out other software. I bought two Avast! Internet Security licenses for two devices, but I can't seem to locate how to turn off the "upgrade" button. It doesn't say upgrade on my Windows 10 tablet, but it does for my Windows 10 laptop. Is there a way to turn off that green button?

One license for three systems would have been a lot cheaper.

If the "upgrade" is a pop-up you can disable it in the settings.

No, it's on the GUI. I'll keep looking!

You could perform a clean installation of avast and use the license file.
I doubt it will make a difference, but you try it of course.

Afraid you will be stuck with it as I have done a clean install before, and the upgrade is still there.
The only ones who can get rid of it is Avast, as this is a part of their promoting their products.

Have that too.  Only possible upgrade is to Premier, so you can guess where the upgrade would lead to.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit 22H2 Avast Premier Security version 24.1.6099 (build 24.1.88821.762)  UI version 1.0.797
 UI version 1.0.788.  Windows 11 Home 23H2 - Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Avast Premier Security version 24.2.6105 (build 24.1.8918.827) UI version 1.0.801
