Steven, Have a look @ this article (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?q=active+components&urlname=No-active-components-in-AVG&l=en_US). Now AVG Free AV doesn't require a license number. It's auto inserted during the installation process. Are you sure that you didn't mistakenly download the 30 day free trial version of AVG Internet Security which if you keep you'll have to pay for.

I just installed AVG AntiVirus Free on my computer. Had it on my old computer. Now I have a 'There are no active components' message when I open it, yet when I click on a component, such as Email Scanner, it tells me it's enabled. Is this program working? How do I activate the components? When I click on Options, it tells me to enter a new license number to activate. Where do I get a new number? Why didn't the downloaded version already contain the new number?
