Avast freezes when trying to get a new license
« on: April 02, 2018, 12:32:07 PM »
When I select the free license the popup freezes for about 60 seconds. After that I get the other 2 popups but I have no licencse. Also I'm unable to log into my avast account in the program. Re-installation or deactivting self-protection didn't help.

Avast used to run just fine for several years so some recent changes must have caused the problem.

I'm using Windows 10 64bit

Programs and features, Avast > change. Click on Activate, now you have to do it from here because they removed this from options. Then restart computer and you're activated for one year again.
