do you want the license #?

No, I didn't really.

You should remove that, why would you want to post on the net? If several people copy it and start using it, you'll just have your license blacklisted by avast and you'll have to purchase a new copy.  ::)

No it's gone.  I don't care to try, I license my clients with the AMS server anyway.

We don't need your license we have our own or are using the free version.
We are smart enough to know that isn't it the correct format for an avast license though ;D
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Download the newest version of Avast (whatever product you need) from here: http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Download the uninstall utility: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

Uninstall your current version of 4.8 from the Add/Remove programs in your Control Panel. Reboot into safe mode.

Use the avast uninstall utility instructions: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

Reboot, Install the newest version and insert your license file.

Yes, that should work just fine.  Once the license is inserted, it will convert into the full product.  I think you have to convert your old license to the new one first though, and I believe that can be done here: http://www.avast.com/resend-license-paid.php

Fortunately I believe that the whole license number isn't displayed in the avast GUI.

Is it? 4.8 stuff have vanished from my brain ;D

You don't need the activation code.
Just insert your license.
Did you request it here: http://www.avast.com/resend-license-paid.php
W8.1 [x64] - Avast Free AV 23.3.8047.BC [UI.757] - Firefox ESR 102.9 [NS/uBO/PB] - Thunderbird 102.9.1

I did already, and i got this:

Dear customer,

we are sorry, but our records show no valid purchases with the e-mail address you specified (moyxxxx@xxxx.xx).

Please make sure the information you supplied is correct, and the original purchase was carried out using this email address.

If you purchased your license from an avast! reseller please contact the reseller directly (http://www.avast.com/locate-dealer).

Best regards,

the avast! team

I think it is this link which you should use to convert the license: http://www.avast.com/resend-license.php

Also, Use the email which you entered while buying avast version 4. It will not work for other email ids.
