Norton Antivirus To Use Product Activation Code - WP Friday August 29, 12:43 am ET NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Users of Symantec Corp.'s Norton line of anti- virus software will need to register their copies of the program with the company, The Washington Post reports in its Friday edition. With Norton AntiVirus 2004, scheduled to go on sale next month, Symantec is using a simple but sometimes unpopular installation process called product activation to stop users from sharing or selling copies of its best-selling software line, the Post said. Users of Norton AntiVirus will have to register their copies with Symantec online or by telephone within 15 days of installation for the program to continue to work, the Post reported. Unlike optional registration commonly used for marketing purposes, Symantec's registration system can dictate whether a program is allowed to function or not by associating a unique software key with every computer using a licensed copy of the software. The company said it plans to include product activation in all its products, the Post said.
