That could be difficult. But how can a new laptop come without a CD drive? did you opt no to get one? If so, then won't you have problems with many other applications as well?

If you dont have a CD drive, you can copy the setup files on to a pen drive and try to install it from pen drive, you can also download it from symantec site.

Any luck?

Admin..Can you please move this thread to the Norton Forum, for better Visiblity.

It is not uncommon for Ultrabooks and Netbooks to not have internal optical drives.

As mentioned above, download the installer from http://us.norton.com/downloads/

Or, copy the setup.exe from a setup CD to a USB drive and copy to your new laptop and run.

Then:

1. Make sure you have your product key for the install on the new laptop before proceeding.

2. You should uninstall the existing NIS first while connected to the Internet.

3. Then re-install to the new laptop.

Oh good to know.

As mentioned, you have to make sure that NIS is uninstalled from the old laptop. Also if you have some trial AV on the new one, make sure you remove that as well.
