Ok, I've been using Avast AntiVirus for a little while now, and my trial perioud is now over so i am unprotected. I went on the website and got my free 1 year licence key, but for the life of me i don't know where to put it!!

Do I have to reinstall the program?

Is there somewhere i can enter the key? I can't find it in the options!

Help please!
 
Avast me hearty. I've never used that there program, but there sometimes be a bit in the help menu (Help>register maybe?) to insert your key. Aaaaarrr.

Aarrr. Strange they should make it so difficult to use a licence key - it can only encourage piracy...


(see below for a more helpful post!)
 
Right click the Avast icon that sits in your tray near your clock in the corner, and then click "About Avast!". In the window that pops up there is a button with "License Key" on it which you press and then just paste in the new code :)

"But why the hell is it in About Avast" I hear you cry! I have absolutely no idea... :rolleyes:
 
Thankyou kind sir!

A large chunk of +Rep is coming your way!

*edit*
No it's not. Has the rep system changed again?
 
Yep, rep is gone for good it seems. People were apparently abusing it, so Jordan removed it...

Your thanks makes up for it though, often on forums you never even get that.. 👍
