It could be that the email address entered during the purchasing process may have been misspelled. Therefore, any subsequent attempt to Log in to the automatically created Avira account will fail. Furthermore, you will not receive any information via email from Avira regarding your purchased product and license.
This means you will need to register again using the correct email address which you thought you registered with during the purchasing process. You will now have two Avira accounts: One with the misspelled email address (which contains the purchasing information and license), and another account that uses the correct email address (but which does not contain any information regarding the product you purchased).
