Why does a free antivirus require a license purchase?

AVG Protection

Hello Nazaii,

I am sorry to hear that. AVG Free doesn't contain any license key. It seems that you have installed the trial version on your computer. I would suggest you run the AVG clear tool mentioned in this article https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=How-to-troubleshoot-issues-after-upgrade-to-the-latest-AVG-antivirus-product and use the offline installer (64 or 32 bit) link to install AVG free https://www.avg.com/en-us/download.prd-gsr-free.

Note: Before starting the installation, please select "Basic protection" to install AVG Free.

If you face any difficulties, please contact us.
