AVG Cleaner is available as both a free and paid app. After you install the free version of the app, you may need to activate it. A subscription purchased via Google Play Store activates automatically on the device you use to make the purchase. If you purchase your subscription through another AVG sales channel, such as the AVG Store, you need to manually activate the app using a valid activation code or your AVG Account.
