I congratulate you all on your eager willingness to suck down that tasty Avast! Koolaide. What else does it collect and then report when it tattles on its paying user? Avast! has successfully transmogrified CCleaner into a SAAS monstrosity, worthy of ruining former customers and effectively screwing any new ones stupid enough to pay for it and load it onto their machine. Well, thanks very much PowerDave, for confirming what I already suspected: CCleaner phone's home. However, if you bought a 1 PC licence and are using it on a half dozen home PCs, have deployed it across your company network, have published it on your blog for anyone to use, or have tried to resell the same key to hundreds of people on eBay - you are inevitably going to have a bad time.Īnyone who may have made a genuine mistake is encouraged to contact support to see what they can do for you (rather than outing yourself in public). To reiterate the previous points for all - if you bought a home use 'version-based' licence prior to 2018 and are using on the number of PCs that you bought it for then no-one has 'switched anything off'.

I did try to recommend that you contact support so that you could get answer in private - but if you would like a public answer specific to your case: you didn't mistype your key.
