Norton 360 3.0 Anti virus

Hey

I've just bought Norton 360 3.0 Anti Virus for my laptop and it says you can use it on 3 computers.

My friend's got a laptop and his Norton Anti virus is due to expire shortly. Does this mean i can install it on my computer and then give it to him to put on his?

Would he have to uninstall the old version on his computer first?

thanks

    Yes, the licence clock starts when its installed on the first PC, and subsequent installations will show up on your Norton account. So I would retain the disk!!

    Yes, and no need to un-install; the new version over-writes the previous ;)

    HTH.
  • The Box probably states 3 PCs per household ... So in theory you can pass it to as many households you wish ;) Not sure thats what they mean in truth and maybe they might get annoyed if they check.

    Norton know how many times the product as been activated, don't know what they do about multiple activations though, it probably won't allow further activations after the 3rd PC
