LICENSE ERROR - AVG does not recognize license

I need help. My AVG does not recognize my license, no matter WHAT I DO. I did the license fix many times, and it did not work. When I do enter my license, it says that it's valid, but when I activate it, my AVG just does not recognize it. My license does not expire til this November. Please help.

Hello Michelle,

Sorry to hear that. I am unable to find any of your purchase record with your email address. I would request you to first contact our sales support via https://support.avg.com/support_sales?l= and they will assist you to first locate your account and then will transfer you to technical chat support for installing your product. Thank you.

Actually, I created this account, because I couldn't remember my password to my old one, and I haven't gotten any email to request a password change. The email you would like to check for a purchase record is herpderpumad@hotmail.com

I actually don't remember which email address I even used when I purchased my AVG license years before anymore. I'll just post the license that doesn't work anymore: 
(license number removed)

Hello Michelle.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Upon reviewing the license number, it is for AVG Internet Security. Hence I request you to use it in AVG Internet Security and not in any other AVG product. Also, I request you not to post license number in public sites for security reason. Please feel free to contact us back for any further assistance. Thank you.
