My original question was specifically about getting the license emailed to me. I know there are options that do not require that. Telling me there are different options was not answering my question.
Regardless, about 30 minutes after my last post, an email came with my registration information, so it is safe to say I was doing nothing wrong.
Still, the lack of people actually reading and understanding my question before replying was disappointing. The delayed license with no help or explanation even attempted from avast certainly has made me consider leaving avast for MSE, which by most accounts is equal protection with fewer headaches.
Sad to see what avast is becoming....
