Or I can uninstall/reinstall with the new key prior to the expiration of my existing subscription, thereby losing the last few days of my subscription.

Uninstall my existing copy of NIS, then download a new copy and enter my new license key - this method likewise exposes my computer to security threats between the time my current license expires and the time I uninstall/reinstall with the new license key.

Wait until my current subscription expires and then enter the new license key as a 'renewal' - this method exposes my computer to security threats between the time my current license expires and the time I enter the new license key.

It seems that if I want to enter a new license key, I have two choices:

If I go to the NIS program interface, the only option offered is to renew. To this end, if I go to my Norton Account the only option offered is to renew.

I have purchased a new license key for NIS, not a renewal, and I am asking what is the correct way to enter my license key.Īpparently, Symantec does not want existing users to purchase new license keys - it only wants us to renew. My license for NIS 2012 will expire in a few days.
