The License component manages your license number.

AVG Anti virus hmtoggle arrow1 License What is a license number?

A license number is a unique string of characters issued by the program manufacturer. Every single copy of AVG must have one; you either receive a license number upon purchasing AVG or, if you have a Trial/Free version, a relevant license number is included in the installation package and used automatically.

The license number has several functions: It determines which specific AVG edition you have and for how many workstations, it entitles you to priority updates and full access to our Customer Support.

Typically, your license number is valid for two years.

 

The component allows you to access your current license number, and to enter a new one when you need to re-validate (e.g. your current license is expiring, or you have purchased another AVG edition).

 

If you have questions regarding license numbers, AVG editions and like, we recommend:

· searching the Sales FAQ section at www.avg.com/faq,
· contacting our Customer Support.
