Activating your product
If you did not activate your product during installation,
you receive an activation-needed alert regularly until
you activate the product.
Product activation reduces software piracy and ensures
that you use authentic Symantec software. Activation
provides you specified period of subscription to your
Norton product. You can also renew your subscription
after the end of your subscription period.
w
You must activate your product within the time period
that the alert specifies, or your product stops working.
You can activate your product directly from the
activation-needed alert. Or, you can use the Activate
Now option in the main window. Activation should
take only a few minutes.
During activation, the Norton Account window
appears. You can create your Norton Account and
register your product. You can also view details, such
as your Product Key, your registration date, and recent
updates to the product. If you skip the Norton Account
window, the product is activated, but the Product Key
is not saved in the Norton Account. You can print the
Product Key to reinstall your product in the future.
