    I sent them a reply and hopefully I will get a response back on Monday. I'm just curious why they would bother with an attachment and just post it in the body of the email instead! Have a link to another page for the license key and that's done.

    I too, sent them a mail. I also mentioned that whoever created the e-mail needed to learn some grammar. :D IMO, not very professional for an AV company, but then again, in this day and age who cares about grammar anymore....

    Well, since you emailed them and then told us about it, looks like the answer to your question is, you do.

    Did you see a question mark in my statement? :D

    As an aside for those interested, Avast was quick to reply and already resent the key.

    They were quick in sending me an email with a key this time around. So Avast 5.0 considered a 2010 edition? When do they usually send out a new version? :D

    I don't believe it, I won! I used my ISP email address.

    I entered 6 hours after they put up a new question. I will pass this on to a family member whose AVG license is about to run out.

    You can use notepad to view the "License_XX.avastlic" file. The license start and end date are shown something like

    # License creation date: Dec 9, 2010

    # Update license expiry date: Dec 9, 2011

    My winning email has a named sender. True, the world's most accomplished English writer she may not be, but she was very proficient at attaching the license file! :D (Thank you Julia :-* )

    Yes. The email address I used was the one I have previously used for avast! purchases.
