View my subscriptions
To open a list of your paid Avast subscriptions:
- Sign in to your Avast Account using the link below:
- Click Manage subscriptions on the My subscriptions tile.
The My subscriptions screen lists all of the Avast subscriptions that are currently linked to your Avast Account.
You can check the following details for each of your Avast subscriptions:
- Subscription for: The maximum number of devices on which your subscription can be used.
- Currently used on: The number of devices on which your subscription is currently used.
- Activation code: The valid activation code that is linked to your subscription. After you download and install on a device, you have to enter this activation code to get the service started and unlock the paid features.
- Period: The length of the subscription period. This is the amount of time your subscription is valid after purchase, before the first renewal. If you do not want the subscription to renew and prevent renewal charges, you can cancel the renewal.
- Subscription status: The current status of your subscription.
- Next payment date (only appears when the subscription status is Subscribed): The next billing date for your subscription. You may have the option to postpone your payment date.
- Payment method: Details for the information that is used for payments. You can change your payment card details via your Avast Account.
Check my subscription status
On the My subscriptions screen, you can verify the subscription status for each of your Avast subscriptions. You may see one of the following statuses:
- Subscribed: This subscription is currently valid. Auto-billing is enabled, which means the subscription automatically renews and is billed annually or monthly depending on your billing cycle, unless you cancel the renewal before your billing date.
- Expiring: This subscription is currently valid, but expires at the end of the current subscription period because the automatic renewal is canceled. You can check the exact expiration date next to Expires. On this date, you will lose access to your paid Avast app.
- Not Available: This subscription is currently valid, but we do not have information about its current status. This can happen when you manually add an Avast subscription that you purchased via a third-party vendor (for example, a subscription purchased via Google Play Store).
- Expired: This subscription has expired and is no longer valid. You can click Renew Now to purchase a new subscription.
Cancel renewal
When you purchase an Avast subscription via the official Avast website, your subscription automatically renews and you are billed annually or monthly depending on your billing cycle, unless the renewal is canceled before the billing date.
The next billing date for each subscription is shown next to Next payment date.
To cancel the renewal via your Avast Account follow the steps below:
- Click Unsubscribe or Cancel renewal in the box for the relevant subscription.
- Review the details, then click Confirm & finish.
- Optionally, let us know why you are canceling the renewal, then click Unsubscribe or Cancel renewal.
- Review the details about the subscription you are canceling the renewal for, then click Close.
