All:
I purchased a 3-computer, multi-year license.  I run avast Pro on a desktop, a laptop running XP, and used to run it on another laptop running XP, which is now dead and not repairable.

I have purchased a new laptop which runs Windows 7.

2 Questions:
1.  Does Avast Pro run under Windows 7?
2.  How do I transfer the license from the dead machine to the new one.  I have and can read the hard drive from the dead machine -- failure was motherboard, not drive.

Thanks,
jim

1. Yes.
2. No magic, just enter your license. ;)

Thanks for the good news.
I assume that I should just install the download file I already have, and then insert the license.

I cannot find the license code.  How do I recover it?

Thanks,
Jim

This http://www.avast.com/en-au/resend-license-paid.php should do it.
