Help with Norton 360 Version 3.0 activation


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 Norton 360, you must use a unique product key to activate it. You can activate Norton 360 during the installation, or after you install it. If you activate Norton 360 after you install it, you must do so within a limited time, or Norton 360 will not work.

Activate Norton 360 Version 3.0

1

Make sure that your computer is connected to Internet.

2

Start Norton 360.

3

At the right bottom corner of the Norton program window, click Activate Now.

4

Type the 25-alpha numeric product key, and then click Next.

  • The product key can be found on a yellow sticker on the back of the CD envelope or in the confirmation email of your download purchase.

  • If your product came with your computer you may not have to enter the product key. You can skip this step.

5

In the Norton Account Window, enter your email address and click NEXT.

Your Norton 360 checks the existing Norton Accounts using the email address.

6

Do one of the following depending on your situation:

  • If Norton 360 finds your Norton Account, enter the password and click SIGN IN.

  • If Norton 360 does not find any existing Norton Account, complete the form and click NEXT.

Review your subscription details, and then click DONE.

Your copy of Norton 360 is now activated.
