There is also a Licenses subfolder in "C:\ProgramFiles\AVAST Software\Avast" which contains numerous files but no license file per se. The donor license was from the same Windows OS version as the problem computer uses. I also tried going through the whole subscription renewal process while the Subscriptions folder still held a license (no reboot after transplanting) but it made no difference to the outcome. I tried this several times but the Subscriptions folder always came up empty again after the reboot. In my case, the license file never survived the reboot.
Jiri told me to reboot the computer after the license file was inserted and I did so. Jiri got me past that and said that he tried it himself and it worked for him. In fact, I thought to manually copy the active license file from another computer whose subscription was still valid into the Subscriptions folder of the problem computer to see what would happen, but I couldn't get access to the Subscriptions folder to insert the license. The computers that cannot get a new license have no "license.avastlic" in the Subscriptions folder. Jiri, at one point in our conversation, said that he doubted that the restrictive bandwidth of 56k dial-up had anything to do with my licensing problems since I never had these difficulties before and given that the license file itself is only 2-3kb - hardly significant even for such a connection. If this is a relatively new trend, then maybe the developers ought to take a look at making the whole free licensing process more bullet-proof. I have no idea what the statistics are for posts on these forums from people unable to get a license for the free version now, as opposed to, say, a year ago, but I've seen numerous posts just today on my way to this thread where that is the main issue.

Undoubtedly it handled the registration process differently than the way it's handled now - not least of which is that it actually worked to get me a license.
I think that the old UI also had a Registration option on the left side which is missing in this version. But, like chicken soup, it couldn't hurt. Turns out that in my case it doesn't matter, as ticking the box and then going through the whole Your Subscription Has Expired process made no difference. I had no idea that the old UI with the dial-up tick box was there!
