Norton deals, rebates, etc.

Symantec told me there were no indications that Purplas has given me any fraudulent keys.

 

Does anyone have experience with directdeals.com?
They are offering some good deals here:

Not sure if this qualifies as a deal but Norton Antivirus and 360 both have 90 day trials here-

NIS and 360 have 60 day trials here-

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Norton-360.shtml

IIRC- I "think" I remember that the Norton 360 90 day and 60 day trials can be stacked if you use the Norton Removal Tool after the first trial. Maybe you need something like Revo though. I'm not sure. Anyway. if it works you get a 5 month trial of 360.

 

I think the 90 day trial is a 2011 OEM version. Can this be updated to 2012 without using a Norton account?

I'd go for that instead. It's totally legit licenses according to Symantec official support chat!

 

It's not in stock anymore.

 

Add yourself to the e-mail notification list and they'll e-mail as soon as they get it back. I was pleasantly surprised the licenses were legit. I'm waiting to get 3 more licenses for mum and dad at parents house. It's 4 (3,8 dollars a year per computer. That's sooo freaking cheap. And 2012 edition is the best surprise along with WSA in the last 3 years.

 

Will do, so you get license valid for 3 PC's and 1095 days for each one, right ?

 

You need to update to the 2012 version through Norton Account. If you already have a 30 day trial, you can convert it to a 90 day trial by putting in the key code for the OEM version.

 

That's right. If you can have more patience than I did and wait for the restock notification, you will hopefully be as pleased as shadek.

 

I wonder if I buy this deal (since I have roughly 110 days) left on my existing subscription, they will add the time from the new license I purchase?

 

I took advantage of this deal and it worked out at just over £10. I inserted the key straight into NAV 2012 and now have 366 days of protection

 

I wonder the same. Since I have over 300 days left on the 2 year I bought last time I should probably wait until next year to look for a deal.

 

Just for you guys, I installed my license keys this morning that I purchased for 6 machines last week. Three machines had 6 days remaining and the other three had 7 days remaining. All 6 machines came back with the purchased license term remaining on NIS - the 6 or 7 days had disappeared. Hope that answers your question.

 

Still haven't gotten an email yet, has anyone? And that seems disappointing that the time left disappears.

 

I've heard that this can be handled by the new Norton Management feature. I don't need a new key yet so I can't test it though. The best way to deal with this has been to wait until the current license expires (or nearly so) before entering the new key. The same is true with the trial-ware.

 

Hi,
I have an idea and it works 100 percent. I have tried and tested it and you won't lose a day.

First, after you buy the new license try to activate it and see that it gets added to your norton account here. Now contact support and tell them that after adding the new key you lost the remaining number of days on your old license, give them the old key and they will gladly add the remaining number of days left on the old license.

Please make sure you activate the new key first, so that it gets added to your account and it is reflected there, otherwise you will have a hard time explaining to the support guys from where you purchased the product from. If you buy it from official norton store, you won't have any problem, but third party stores it is difficult to show them the proof of purchase.

I have added more than 4-5 three user license this way and never lost a single day. All of my licenses are valid for more than 5years and I still have 5-6 licenses left.

If any confusion, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
Ziaul

P.S. Always make sure whether it is a new key or old key, it should reflect under your account. That way it will be easy to add the remaining days.

 

The link has been updated and now the installer is for Norton Antivirus 2012.

 

I am sure i can just download 2012 and i can insert a 2011 keys in right? Isn't it the idea that i buy a licenses to use the product. Regardless of Product versions?

If yes then why are these shops selling 2011 way cheaper then 2012??

By the way can i further stack the days of licenses on top of trial licenses

And i am still thinking of the deal http://store.purplus.net/noinse2033do.html

That is working out as less then $12 per computer. And for 3 years!!!! Are they crazy?

P.S - Do i use the same key for 3 computer? Or would i get 3 different keys?

 

Hi Iwod,
You get the same keys.

Thanks,
Ziaul

 

Norton Internet Security 2012 3-PC 3-Year download - $42.95

 

A 2006 or later key will work.

Anytime you insert a new product key, you lose the previous remaining days. If you contact support, they will usually add the previous remaining days of a licence onto the new licence. I do not know if they would do that for a trial.

 

If you ask the converse - why are they selling 2012 for more than 2011? I would answer - Probably just because they CAN. I would guess most of their customers are not Wilders members that read threads like this one or by any other means realize that any old version from '06 forward (based on what malexous said) will do and then they can freely download and upgrade themselves to the "latest and greatest" on the same keys.
