Martin00,
I feel your pain…
As you might know from earlier posts, the only thing that got me a new license on Avast Free was to run the activation from a different ISP. There seems to be an undefined issue between my default method of accessing the internet and the Avast servers responsible for issuing this type of licensing.
I have a Win8.1 desktop using only my home connection which cannot get a license, but I also have a Win8.1 notebook which did manage to get a license through a different network – the free wifi at the local library. If it’s practical for you to hook your computer up to a different network, try running the activation sequence from that network.
In my case, I also got the last program update at the library. Does that matter? Who knows? This is all voodoo as far as I’m concerned.
