Oops Ignored several previous alerts last month to "Important Program Updates" i got, thinking it would update to v10, which i'm holding off on for now.

Now if the previous alerts to "Important Program Updates" had made it clear they were for the current v9, and not trying to update to v10, i wouldn't have had to do ALL that. Never mind, i've still got the version i want for another 2 months

 

Version 10 has been just fine. You've gone to some effort for what I'm not sure. It's not the paid version after all.

That's good to hear but i'm still reading alternative reports here and there, including Avira's forum

Indeed i have for the above reasons, and as i said

You're right there

 

As there were with Version 9 I'm sure.

 

No problems with version 10 here.

Thanks CloneRanger . I received the invalid license message today so I checked through the AV forum here and low and behold someone else had the same problem. I appreciate you posting the fix

 

@innerpeace

Pleasure, and thanks for posting

Well that makes it doubly worthwhile spending all the time researching and taking screenies and posting etc I thought others might be in the same situation as i was.

Extra good news. In my excitement on finding the solution, i overlooked something

On closer examination, it's not just another 2 months we've got, but another 1 year and 2 months



Unless thev'e made a mistake ? Hope not

I may update to v10 before then, but it's nice to have the option if we desire. Thanks to Avira for listening
