Avast is one of the widely used antivirus solutions. Avast Free Antivirus for Windows is being used by millions of PC users to protect their data from viruses and other threats.
In addition to the Avast Free Antivirus, a significant number of PC users use Avast Pro Antivirus, Avast Internet Security, and Avast Premier for advanced protection and security features.
If you have installed Avast Pro, Internet Security, or Premier on one of your PCs, you might want to know if the Avast license is transferable from one computer to one, just like Kaspersky.
To begin with, yes, you can transfer Avast license from one computer to computer. This means that, if you are no longer using Avast license on one of your PCs, you can transfer the license to another PC and use the product for the remaining days of subscription period without any issues.
That said, remember you cannot use the license on PCs more than the allowed number of PCs. For instance, if you have a single PC license, you cannot activate and use Avast on more than one PC.

Hi,
This function is no longer available. Apparently, you need to call support, and they charge you to deactivated from a dead device.

You should be able to do this, since Avast is not active on a non-working computer. Just follow the steps above from the point of logging into Avast and deleting the installation on the dead computer. You will still need the activation code though; if you can’t find it you will have to phone or email Avast for help.
