Expired/invalid License?......NOT

[heironymus]

For the third time, and the second time in 6 weeks,  I got a message on my screen which says that my Avast license is expired or invalid.
I purchased a three year license about 14 months ago and my current "invalid/expired" license was sent to me in early January '09.
I'm really getting sick of this.  Why can't ALWIL provide licenses that last? grrrr!

Hallo,
this is really strange. All the licensing stuff is based on seconds-since-epoch stamping, and thus, i can't imagine mechanism, responsible for similar flaw. maybe your machine, time-from-time, has got incorrect system time?

have a look into the license - there are human readable time-stamps, thus just verify, that it's really 3y license - if not, contact our support.

My system time is currently spot on; and I've never noticed an incorrect time readout in all the months that I've owned my current Mac.

I guess that it's possible that my Mac has some glitch in it that causes my Avast license to become corrupted.  But what that glitch might be is a mystery. I haven't got a clue.

Well, I finally was able to get my license file to work   I've got
the  app Graphic Converter. My Avast license file, which I kept in my Documents folder got formatted
into a Graphic Converter medium  and, for some reason, couldn't be accepted or acknowledged by Avast.
 I was able to get the license  file to open in another medium. For some
reason, VLC Media player, which automatically became the Avast file and other files medium (by default, I guess) once I got Graphic Converter out of the way, could acknowledge my license file  and Avast has now accepted it. Why VLC Media Player?  I haven't a clue. But
all's well now. Hopefully, my Avast license will give me no more trouble
from now on.

Glad to know .
Btw. the license file is very sensitive to any modification/re-formatting, thus, it's always necessary to keep it in the original form (pure txt-file).
