Activating an AVG application using a third-party reseller code

If you have purchased an AVG subscription at a retail store or through a third-party reseller (such as Amazon), you must manually activate your AVG application after installing it. This article explains two different methods for activating the application.

Follow the instructions to activate your application using a reseller code first. If the method does not work, exchange the reseller code for an activation code.

Activating using a reseller code

1. Refer to the following article for instructions on how to install and activate your AVG application:
   • Installing and activating an AVG product
2. Follow the steps to download and install your AVG application, then activate it using the code you received from the reseller.
3. If requested, enter your name, email, and postal code.

Your AVG application is now active. If your AVG application does not accept your code, follow the steps in the next section to exchange your reseller code for an activation code.

Exchanging the reseller code for an activation code

1. Refer to the following article for instructions on how to create an AVG Account:
   • Activating your AVG Account

3. Type or paste the code you received from the reseller into the text box, then click Continue.
4. Your code is exchanged for an activation code, and the subscription is added to your AVG Account.

You can now activate your AVG application using your activation code or by signing in to your AVG Account through your application.
