My Avast Registration has 10 days left before it expire.

Normally, I get a free license key thru offline registration, then when I receive the Free key - I have to key in immediately then done. However, recently when I do the same process, it was not successful; it display an error message "INVALID KEY".

So I registered again and have a new key, but then the result still the same. Is there a new way to do with the latest version of AVAST? I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Registering your Avast Free Antivirus, doesn't require any account creation, last I checked.
@Malware Test some don't have or want to use social accounts for registering.

Try this link, http://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus.php

Thanks for the link; this is where I registered to get my new license key, I tried it twice already hoping the second key will work but still "invalid key." Check below the key i received from AVAST.
