the best way to find out about avast's auto license renewal is to wait until it expires and see if there is any action or not
then, please report
if avast still doesn't renew its license, we should report to the developers and "hope" they can fix it
I have seen 2 machines that didn't renew and avast automatically disabled all the shields, instead of keeping users protected
This is not a problem for us but is a huge problem for people who install avast on other machines for their friends or family because many users don't and won't be aware of their AV status
I'm thinking about installing AVG instead of avast because AVG doesn't have the licensing thingy. However, I doubt avast would eventually merge avast and AVG and import the licensing system into AVG => boom! unprotected for clueless users
