How do I transfer avast from an old computer to a new computer that is using a 3 year active subscription.
I plan on buying 23 - 27 copies avast for friends and family.
Of course we all know that computers crash, fail, or get upgraded.
In the event that sometime during the next 3 years someone has to replace their old computer with a new one...
What is the process to transfer the existing active key from the old computer to the new computer?
This process has been asked by a couple of people I know and they are unsure they want to purchase for 3 years if you can't easily transfer it to the computer or drive in the event of a failure or upgrade.
I searched the forums and found no clear answer or question for that matter.

I live in Canada and wasn't about to make the over seas call to the Czech Republic for an answer.
Too costly, even if we are saving some money in volume pricing. lol.
And just a note about my experience with Avast. Until recently I used AVG and nothing else.
I can't stand how Norton locks down the computer, I didn't like the sometimes cryptic and constant pop-up messages from Norton, McAfee, and others... Avast only pops up a small temporary message when there is an update, and only when a virus is detected. I like the non obtrusive style it uses. I have uninstalled many different viral solutions and installed avast only to find that the computer was indeed infected by some virus. Avast seems to be the program at the right price for the moment. Thanks.
I have had many great laughs about stories of people being very scared when their speaker volume is up and the voice that states your "virus database has been updated" speaks. The people have been at home all alone and freaked out wondering who is in the house with them. Or they were passing the computer as it talked to them lol.
Hope to have a definitive and complete answer before October 1st as we plan to make the purchase on Friday October 3rd 2009.
