Locating your Avast activation code

 

After installing or upgrading to a paid Avast product, you may need to activate your subscription by entering a valid activation code (sometimes called a subscription code or license key) into the application.

Follow the instructions in this article to find your activation code in one of the following places:

  • Order confirmation email: Purchases made online from the official Avast website receive an order confirmation email that contains your activation code.
  • Avast Account: Purchases made online from the official Avast website appear in the Avast Account that is linked to the email address you provided at checkout.
  • An already activated Avast product: When an Avast product is already activated, your activation code is usually visible within the product. This is useful if your subscription is valid for multiple devices and you want to enter your activation code on a new device.
  • Activation card: Purchases made in a retail store or from a third-party reseller (such as Staples or Amazon) come in an Avast box or plastic case that contains a printed card with your activation code.

Order confirmation email

To find your activation code in an order confirmation email:

  1. Open the order confirmation email that you received from no.reply@avast.com (or in some cases, info@customer.avast.com).
  2. Scroll to the Your products section. The activation code is visible under Your activation code.

Avast Account

If necessary, perform any of the actions below before locating your activation code in your Avast Account:
  • If you do not have an Avast Account, you can create one with the email address you provided during the subscription purchase.
  • If you do not know the password for your Avast Account, you can reset it.

To find your activation code in your Avast Account:

  1. Sign in to your Avast Account using the link below:
    • https://id.avast.com/sign-in
  2. Click the Subscriptions tile.
  3. The activation code for each subscription is visible next to Activation code.
If you do not see an Avast subscription, it is not yet linked to your Avast Account. You can optionally follow the instructions to add a missing subscription to your Avast Account.
