According to vld on avast forum, its ok to install it over previous version..

While it might be ok to do so,personally I'd always uninstall the old version first rather than do an upgrade install.That's just me though.

 

It's more than okay, it's easier because as long as it's Pro over Pro, your license will be converted automatically. If you uninstall 4.8 you'll have to get a 5 Pro license from here.

There's also a 50% discount for upgrades to the full suite (3-user). I think you lose any unused portion of your existing license though.

 

I believe a clean install is always best so I'd uninstall any previous version.

 

Download the new executable and fire it off. It will uninstall 4.8 and update Pro to the new version and keep your license info intact. YMMV.

 

its supposed to transfer ur license, but a lot of peep (including myself) have had some probs with the transfer.

 

+1 Ditto New Install....always.

 

Right. Stuff happens, which is why I mentioned "YMMV." The point is that avast! does not have to be uninstalled in order to upgrade to the new version.

 

Why do people always ask this? Just uninstall and reinstall. You'll be done before anyone even replies to your post.

 

This has always been a rule of thumb for me.

 

Amen . Like this question needs to even be asked . Yikes .
