For the past week and half or so, I've been having issues with renewing my Free license, namely the fact that despite me attempting to renew it, it just doesn't seem to go through at all, and I'm stuck with Avast saying that it's going to expire soon.
You can see the issue in the images, it starts with image 1, I then click to renew and get to image 2, click the free option, the window hangs for about 20 to 30 seconds, and then goes to image 3. However when I click to close the window, I'm back to what I have on image 1, and have been like this since it started showing up.
I don't know if this is an issue with my Avast version, as I'm currently running 17.6.2310 (build 17.6.3625.243), on Windows 8.1, and while it is an old version, it's been functional up until now, hence why I haven't felt the need to update. I've attempted to repair it through the Uninstallation menu, but no success. Is this a situation where the version somehow isn't compatible with the renewal process anymore, and I MUST update, or is there any way to fix this? I don't think I can do a clean install with this version anymore, so it seems like my only option might be updating, assuming of course that fixes it and I don't have the issue anymore after updating, but chances are I could still have the issue even after doing it.
