I’ll try to update the article to include what you told me. Must be new from Avira as when I encountered that problem I didn’t have to go to the configuration options of Avira.

Again, thanks for the great contribution!

You must uncheck the 2 options, in avira configuration at general menu, the 2 options that says to protect avira files and processes from manipulation and deletion, but only when you uncheck both options, then click ok, now you can overwritte the avira premium key or even delete it first to then paste the new avira premium key.

I hope i helped, i came to this topic in order to get help, but it did not work as supposed to, so i checked all avira configuration settings because i could not replace nor delete the avira key, so that is when i found those 2 options.

One thing i must say too, i can not remember if those options are part of the default configuration or if it was i who enabled them, nonetheless they should be part of default settings.

I can’t paste the new hbedv file to the folder. the folder can’t be modified. I have changed the folder properties from Read-Only to normal, but still can’t allow any changes made to the file in that folder. so, how?
