Norton Anti-virus Renewal

by JouninMastah Sep 17, 2007 5:02AM PDT

Hey everyone! I just got my own personal computer, and it came with a 90 day trial of Norton Anti-virus. Just recently, the trial ran out. My parents' version of Norton that they had BOUGHT just recently ran out, as well. So since the version they have says that it can be used on up to three computers, they wanted to renew their copy and just put it on MY computer. The only problem is, they don't have a CD for the program, because when they bought it, they just downloaded it from the main site, which doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

So my question is, even though they could just renew their own copy, how can we move their updated Norton to my computer without any problems? Thanks for any help in advance.

I have used both and they work great. I recommend that you use these on all the computers.
