need to re-register when updating from 4.8 - version 5 ?
« on: February 10, 2010, 11:33:17 PM »
Do I need to re-register when updating from 4.8 - version 5 ?

I got my free license key for the version 4.8 some weeks ago, can I use that one.

Will I need to re-enter that licence key in the avast home 5.0 version or will it be done automatic
when installing version 5.0 over old 4.8 version.

best regards alex

Tjena Grabben... ;)

If you install V.5.0 on top of 4.8 it will read the old license during the install, try it...
If that does not work you will need to do a clean install and register avast 5 online, and then there is no key

There are two methods of registering avast! Free Antivirus 5.0:
On-line registration
Off-line registration
