Windows 10: How do I find the order number for my VPN license?

I'm having some issues with my antivirus software. Support sent the following request:

I looked at ipconfig and the router user guide but don't know how to find my VPN license or the "order number".

How do I find my VPN license?

How do I find out the Outlook order number to re-load it on my new computer

I bought outlook 2016 from MS online and now need to move it to a new computer. Can anyone tell me how to locate the order number to re-load or what I need to do?

How do I find out the Outlook order number to re-load it on my new computer

I would ask this in the MS Office Section for Outlook 2016 (its where the experts are)

Use the categories pull down at the top of the page to move it or repost it there

 

Where did you get your VPN software from? You must have entered it when you installed the VPN.

An E-mail you got from them would have the license I would think.

 

Okay, let me further define my ignorance on this. I know from Googling VPN that it stands for"virtual private network". The only network that I have is the LAN and WiFi that I set up using Windows 10 wizards. Maybe with my router or other hardware/software. I never knowingly installed a VPN apart from setting up my networks, and I never received an email regarding such.

The Avast service tech is trying to figure out why I continue to get popups even though I have configured preferences to not pop them up. He is asking for my VPN license order number.

Should I simply return the email stating that I never ordered a VPN license?? I'm only trying to help him/her to troubleshoot my problem.

 

You don't have a VPN. That's about all you can tell the Avast tech.

Sounds like a good time to uninstall Avast and use the built-in Windows Defender to me. That along with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium has done a good job of protecting my computer. I also use the free Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit.

 

Thanks Rich. Sounds like good advice. I'm just used to having an external virus protection program. I think that Defender has gotten better and what I read about Win 10 an apparent objective is increasing security, so maybe my Avast isn't adding value.
