Hi,
We have several computers using avast in our household, currently using version 5.0.677.
Since they all are on the same license schedule, our licenses are set to expire at the end of the year (December 31, 2010). I have been re registering each machine, and went to complete the process on one machine. All the others I have re registered have given me a year license when I filled out the form (one year from the date of registration).
The machine in question shows that it was registered on 12/17/2010, and that the license expires 3/17/2011, just three months after the registration date. I did not register it, and other users of that computer do not recall doing so (but may have), so I am confused as to what may have happened.
Is there any three month registration that would make this happen? Everything else seems normal (updates to the vps file are still happening, did a full scan - all appears good, etc...) so I am confused about this - ad a little concerned that maybe this machine got some malware that put in false dates to hide something?
Also, note that since it shows it as registered until 3/17/2011, I cannot input a registration key until it gets closer to then. Is there any way I can put a registration key in not to keep us all on the same schedule? It makes the maintenance much easier.
