NIS subscriptions renewal in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20469086 en Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:24:57 EDT Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:24:57 EDT Re: NIS subscriptions renewal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479584 SanJoseNerd : When my NIS 2008 expires, I will go to the store and buy a retail copy of NIS 2009.

If you renew online, Symantec enrolls you in their automatic renewal program, so your credit card is charged automatically every year. I hate that. You can cancel the automatic renewal program, but it's a hassle and I got tired of doing it. A new retail copy is simpler.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479584 Wed, 14 May 2008 04:58:20 EDT Re: NIS subscriptions renewal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479095 Owlbet :

Owlbet, I'm sure that Symantec wouldn't mind if you renewed some of them early so that you only have to do them at one time. :)
LOL! I'd do it only if they offered a volume discount. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479095 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:24:57 EDT Re: NIS subscriptions renewal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479090 ranschultz : Owlbet, I'm sure that Symantec wouldn't mind if you renewed some of them early so that you only have to do them at one time. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479090 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:23:47 EDT Re: NIS subscriptions renewal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479014 Owlbet :

For 2006 or latter versions, you are entitled to free upgrades to the latest version so long as your subscription is current, so, renewals still make sense.
amysheehan See Profile told me about a year ago or so ago about the upgrades with a current subscription, but I didn't want to mess up what was already working by upgrading. Then one night I threw caution to the wind and took Symantec up on their offer to upgrade to NAV 2008. I upgraded one computer from NAV 2006 to NAV 2008, and six computers from NAV 2007 to NAV 2008. Two of those six computers are Vista machines. I eventually got a multi-license copy of NIS 2008 for those two computers. All my computers run NAV or NIS 2008.

What is the kicker, though, is I now have five straight months (March - August) that I have to fork over some cash to Symantec for another year's subscription.

That gives you access to new signatures for an older program version. I would recommend upgrading to the current version instead of a renewal.

If you are using a 2006 or latter version of NIS, all three machines will be extended. The first machine should reflect the change right away and the 2nd and 3rd machines should reflect the update the next time that they update their definitions.
from experience, i would force an update, after you renew. Otherwise Norton may lock itself, and you cant restart it, without an new install.

If you don't get an answer you can do what I do...go out and buy a new NIS at Fry's (or your local retailer) when they have one of their rebate-a-ramas going on and you will end up getting it for free.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20473054 Mon, 12 May 2008 23:05:52 EDT NIS subscriptions renewal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20469086 anon : Hello all,

Has anyone out there using NIS on the three machines you're allowed under their license done a subscription renewal?

Does the renewal at $50 cover all the three machines (as you'd expect), or is it per machine?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20469086 Mon, 12 May 2008 10:35:50 EDT
