upgrading from home to pro
« on: February 28, 2009, 01:49:25 AM »
I got an mssg about special deal to upgrade to the pro version and as I like the program and have been using the home "free" version I felt it was worth paying for it. Anyway do I need to uninstall my Home Free version or just close the free version and run the Pro version I just downloaded and then put in my new key to upgrade?

Sorry if its a dumb question

Hi bratboy, welcome to the forum :)

You just have to copy and paste the Pro licence key into your Avast! Home and it will download the needed files and do the upgrade to Avast! Pro for you. It can't be easier :)
