AVG activation. Connect your subscription.
Already installed AVG? Link the paid product to your subscription using the method available in your app. These steps focus on AVG Internet Security.
Before you begin.
- The correct AVG app installed on your device.
- An active subscription covering that product and device.
- Your account details or the activation code supplied with the purchase.
Let’s get you set up.
Choose account sign-in or a code
In AVG AntiVirus, open Menu. For account activation, choose Sign in and follow the browser prompts. For a code, choose Enter activation code; on Mac, use My subscriptions → Activate paid features.
Complete the selected method
Use the account containing your subscription, or paste the activation code including its hyphens. Follow the prompt to return from the browser to the app when applicable.
Confirm the products
If offered several products, select the ones you want and complete the activation or installation prompt. Check the subscription status in the app.
A little more clarity.
Where to look for your code
Check your order confirmation, the relevant AVG Account subscription or a retail activation card. Some already activated apps also display subscription information. Keep the code private.
Purchased from a reseller?
Try the code using AVG’s product instructions. If it is not accepted, AVG’s reseller guide explains how to exchange it for an activation code through your account. Follow the official link below for that process.
If activation fails
Check the product, subscription and code before trying again. Use the linked troubleshooting guide for the actual error shown. Avoid assuming every AVG application uses the same activation menu.
A few final questions.
Practical answers for the next step.
01Does every AVG product use these exact steps?+
No. These steps focus on Internet Security. Use AVG’s product-specific instructions for VPN, TuneUp and mobile apps.
02Do mobile store purchases always include a code?+
Not necessarily. Purchases through Google Play or the App Store may use the store’s subscription mechanism. Follow AVG’s instructions for the relevant mobile product.
03Can I reuse a subscription on another device?+
Check the supported platforms and device allowance of your purchase before adding a device. Use the official installation guide for that platform.
