A number of people have taken my advice and moved from the old, free Avast to the new paid version. In doing so, a few customers tried to open the license key. There is no program on your computer to do that. Simply download the license key to some location you’ll know, download and install the new Avast. When you go through the install wizard and it asks for the license key (bottom choice on the window), use the browse button to find the license key that you saved.
Remember, any other questions, let me know.
