Can I activate Avast Ultimate (Single-Device) for Windows on multiple Windows devices?

No. You can only use an Avast Ultimate (Single-Device) subscription on one Windows device at a time, even if you do not install and activate all of the available apps. If you wish to use your subscription on more than one device, we recommend purchasing an Avast Ultimate (Multi-Device) subscription, which can be activated on up to 10 devices simultaneously, and is additionally valid on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

Can I activate Avast Ultimate (Single-Device) for Mac on multiple Macs?

No. You can only use an Avast Ultimate (Single-Device) subscription on one Mac at a time, even if you do not install and activate all of the available apps. If you wish to use your subscription on more than one device, we recommend purchasing an Avast Ultimate (Multi-Device) subscription, which can be activated on up to 10 devices simultaneously, and is additionally valid on Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS.

Can I choose which apps to activate on each of my devices?

Yes. On each of your devices, you can choose to activate all or just some of the available apps for that platform. You can activate the same app on multiple devices, or choose not to activate a particular app on any of your devices.

However, you cannot exceed the device limit for your purchased subscription, regardless of which apps you choose to install. For example, if you have Avast Ultimate (Multi-Device) and you choose to activate only Avast Premium Security on 10 separate devices, you cannot activate your subscription on an additional device. This applies even if you want to start using a app that you have not yet activated, such as Avast Cleanup Premium or Avast SecureLine VPN.
