In my post yesterday I explained only the result of my call to Support and the information I was given.
In order to have all the options explained here regarding the ‘downgrade’ to version 22 (prior to the revamp), there is an alternative method to obtain the latest virus definitions instead of having to uninstall and reinstall. In this post:
user ‘SoulAsylum’ explains that the ‘Intelligent Updater’ with the daily virus definitions can be downloaded from the Broadcom site which avoids the need to uninstall/reinstall version 22.
Let’s hope a solution to this problem with the licence is found in the near future.
