Activating AVG Cleaner Premium on Android

AVG Cleaner Premium for Android 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.

Sign in to AVG Account

An AVG Account was created using the email address that you provided during the subscription purchase. To sign into your AVG Account for the first time, refer to the following article: Activating your AVG Account.

To activate AVG Cleaner Premium using your AVG Account:

  1. Open AVG Cleaner and tap Account (in the bottom navigation bar) ▸ Already have a subscription?.
  2. Select Use your AVG Account.
  3. Enter the credentials for the AVG Account that contains your AVG Cleaner subscription, then tap Continue.

AVG Cleaner Premium is now activated. If activation is unsuccessful, refer to the Still need help? section in this article.
