About what version you talk, home or pro?

There is obviously something wrong with the expiry date "License is valid until: 12/31/69" because for a home edition it would be a max of 14 months and for a pro license it would be 12 months, so the expiry should be either 2005 or 2006.

Have you at any stage altered the system date that you are aware of?

I would suggest that you try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, avast! Anti-Virus, Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.

If no joy, uninstall reboot, install and enter the reg key again.

Check your system time/date.
If it is incorrected it may be time for you to change the cmos battery.

I just got the same error after Avast Pro 4 was registered and working fine for 5 months.

My License.DAT file seems to be missing, at least it is not in the "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA" folder.

Same 12/31/69 date in the Setup.log file, my system date is fine.

Running Vista Business x64.

Are you in the correct forum?
I'm using avast Pro and I don't have license.dat file.
Seems you're using server/ADNM version.
