Can somebody please confirm that older versions of AVAST Free will auto-re-register at some point?
I too am getting this, rather pointless, yearly reminder to update my registration which in the past has caused me no problems, thirty seconds and its done, no hassle. But this year when I click to re-register I'm getting that oft reported here "Retrieving information, please wait." message that results in nothing happening.
Only when you click on the offline registration do you actually get some useful information that the free version does not need re-registering (which I knew) and that should apply to older versions as well.
The prospect of having to uninstall/reinstall AVAST just to get it to register and work fills me with dread. My current set up is and has been working very satisfactorily for three years and having to mess around with it just to re-register a program that I'm told should not need re-registering is absurd.
So why for the last month have there been these regular and apparently unnecessary pop-up messages appearing about re-registering and the countdown now showing 11 days left before registration expires?
It not helpful and quite frankly I'd prefer to have the proper, functional, simple re-registration system for the free versions reinstated than this worrying uncertainty.
Some definitive details about exactly what happens or is supposed to happen after the re-registration countdown reaches zero should be provided. You should not need to come here and trawl through the threads to find out that sort of important information.
