After purchasing Avast AntiTrack, you need to activate the product using a valid activation code (sometimes called a subscription code or voucher code). You do not need to follow these activation instructions if you purchased Avast AntiTrack via the Avast Antivirus user interface, as your subscription is activated automatically after you download and install Avast AntiTrack on the same device.
