The forums are not frequented by Avast staff so its all rumour over there.

My Licenses are about to expire

And the licenses won't automatically update on each computer. So now I have to manage each computer seperately. Each time I do a new license it seems to take an hour or two for everything to get straight again between upgrades, certificates, keys, reboots, install problems, etc…. Now I get to do that for each of the computers instead of one button on the WHS console!!!

Bring back Family Pack!!

If MS have already banned your key why not just crack your WHS? Not like you’ve anything to lose anymore.

I’m not to concerned about the lack of care from Avast, all my desktops have been lisenced by keygen for years now and I’m still using the WHS edition in 30 day trail mode and will be till sometime in 2012 . Honestly I can’t believe how easy it is to not pay for a great piece of anti-virus software.

I'm not sure why everyone is so up-in-arms over not having immediate access to v5. If the 4.8 was good enough for you to buy the license in the first place, why not chill out and just let Avast upgrade the WHS edition to v5 in their own good time. Do you *really* want to be the first off the blocks to try a 5.00 release? Not me, thank you!

I think we ought to start putting pressure on that they continue the family pack offer, or at the very least allow people who bought the original to renew their licenses with a similar offer.

I still think that they might have withdrawn the offer because at the moment the v5 clients aren't compatible with the v4.8 WHS version, didn't the 4.8 server have something to do with licensing the 4.8 clients?

Totaly agree with your above statement.

Here there answer to me also:

So see they don't deny my dilemma or even try to explain it.

They just telling me pay more and that it period end of the story.

Well I will investigate for only server side here.

Anyone that could tell if there is a good product for the server for WHS I do not care anymore about monitoring of my other PC although it would be nice but not required.

Right now I am trying to vote with my wallet people nothing more.

If I buy again Avast, it is like hi thank you to screw my this year forecast for expense.

How about we start to try to get a rebate like oh you are member of wegotserved website so we are giving you a great reduction in price or our "special package"

Anyone here or Terry maybe could approach the software maker and start to ask if they could special link here with rebate at the end of the subscription?
