Renewing Key Version 5

[ict-school]

I'm working at a school with 250 pc's. In version 4.8 it is possible to enter a new key before the licence is expired.
The end date of the registration is set on august 1, 2010. The school is closed in july and august !! Is there a possibility to work in advance, is there another solution  (if I read correctly, I will get a message 14 days in advance ??)

regards

Yes, it's possible to add a key in advance. I'm not sure but you need to ask for it to sales (at) avast (dot) com as I think the license period starts when it is generated and NOT when it is effectively added to the computer. Don't lose your two months of license

I forgot to mention that I'm using a free version !?

[Lisandro]

Free version in a school environment? At 250 PC's?

Manualy yearly update will save me 10.000 euro licence cost over 3 years !!

Well, it seems kinda surprising that you're admitting to breaking the license conditions (i.e. using the free version illegally)... and still asking for help?

[Lisandro]

It should be good if avast could detect such conditions and block the illegal usage.

The only free antivirus, AFAIK, that can be used in a business or school is PC Tools av.
