Norton Antivirus keeps asking for activation

[BOB IROC]

I am having the same problem. I bought the 5-license pack of Norton '06 and 3 of the computers are having the activation problem. Symantec is no help. They tell me my key is invalid. It sucks.

They have two patches for this on their website. It has worked on a couple of computers here and has not worked on a couple of others. Norton stuff can be very difficult at times which is exactly why it no longer is being used at this shop.

You wouldn't happen to have links to those patches would you. Upon searching their site I only found reference to Norton 2004 and 2005.

What is product activation?
Product activation protects you from pirated and counterfeit software. It limits the use of Norton programs to those who bought them legitimately. When you install a Norton program, you must use a unique product key to activate it. You can activate your Norton program during installation, or after you install. If you activate after you install, you must do so within a limited time, or the product will not work.

There are several links there for you to try out, including a link for FAQs.

The problem I am having is the option "Your Symantec product prompts you to activate whenever the computer restarts" and I tried the automated assistant and the patch supplied there says 2004/2005 only Dammit

It says that only the Repair Tool is for 2004/05 only. If you have the original install disks, the files shouldn't need repairing.

Have you tried steps 3 and continuing?

Thanks I will try those. This is just one of the many reason's why I hate the concept of activating software. I understand why they do it, but when headaches like this come up it just detours people from their products.
