Not Recognized as Registered

[cyberqtf]

Hi.  I'm new to Avast Home and to this forum.  I wanted to file a support ticket today, so I went to the support page on the Avast Home site, put in the email address I used when registering yesterday (and at which I received an acknowledgement from Avast that I had registered successfully).  I wanted to request a password, but when I put in my email address, I was told "ERROR: Invalid Email Address specified. The Email Address is not registered."  I am sure that I put in the right address, so now what do I do? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

That being the case, it may be quicker posting the problem you have here in the support forums.

Thanks, David, for your response.  I probably will post my problem here, but I would hate to be without a way to contact tech support directly if I'm going to continue to use Avast.  Hence, I'm still very eager to find out how I can get them to recognize my registration.   Perhaps not enough time elapsed from when I received the email to when they put me into their system?     I guess I'll try again.

Well, I did try again.  Still no luck.

Hi cyberqtf,
Did you receive an email that looks like this when you registered?

Thanks VERY much, spg SCOTT, for this very helpful response.  I think you may have identified the source of the problem.  I did NOT receive such a message.  I registered two times, once registering the Avast software and once registering for this forum.  I didn't realize that I had to register with the support desk as well.  When I went to the Support Center and saw the word Register, I thought it referred to registering Avast, which I had already done.  So I went straight to "Submit a Ticket."  After reading your message, I went back to the Support Center page and looked more carefully.  Apparently Register did not refer to registering the software, though since Avast kept making such a big deal about registering the software, I assumed it was still pushing the same issue.     Thanks for quoting the message I should have received.  That's what clued me in.  I'll now go register...again
