NAV 2003 Update or purchase of NAV 2004?

Q: I have only 2 days left on my NAV 2003. Are there advantages to getting renewal NAV NAV 2004 versus 2003? Thank you.


Best Answer: Try the Norton removal tool found here
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Norton_Removal…

The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls all Norton 2007/2006/2005/2004/2003 products from your computer.


Re:Regarding product activation – what happens with NAV 2004 if you are a chronic reformatter? I've reformatted at least 8 times last year. I'm always trying multiple betas of stuff and boink my system.

At some point do they cut you off?


Re:Well I just renewed at the Norton site. Did not want to order NSW 2003 from Globe2000 for $10 again and then go through uninstall nightmares. $19.90 renews NSW for 1 year.

Re:Going down the Symantec's renewal trail a little bit, it looks like renewal is $30 and NIS 2004 is $40.

I'll wait to see what deals might appear in the Sunday paper….

I just picked up NIS 2004 at CompUSA for $69.99 – $30.00 mfr upgrade – $20.00 mfr rebate, so I should come out at $19.99 if my rebates actually go through.


Re:i know for free trials of stuff i just set my system clock back about a year and get like 400 days of free trials. Works for me

Doesn't NAV 2003 renew your subscription if you just remove all the components and reinstall?

Yes

Wouldn't that be nice?

Nope.

Edit: There's a little more to it.

like deleting registry keys, always reset it after i formatted, but i own multiple licenses but only opened one cd

I tell you, you guys are a bunch of amateurs.

Yep.

Re:NAV 2004 has beloved software activation.The entire 10 second process is such a non-issue for legal users. If that is your sole consideration for not buying a piece of software, grow up. The fact is, unless and until everyone uses Linux and all it's free options, more and more software is going to use an activation scheme. Again, this is such a non-issue unless you are the type of person that prefers to steal their software.

[EDIT]Oh, and I don't think there is much of a compelling reason to spring for the new version over renewing 2003. Unless you can get 2004 for about the same price of resubscribing. The Spam protection is pretty good, it works well with Outlook 2003. It has found about all the spam that comes into my inboxes but I bet there are other tools that offer more options. Though I honestly don't recall if that was a part of the NIS package or NAV, so this may not matter in your case. So long as they continue to provide virus defs, stick to 2003. Unless, like I said you can get NAV 2004 for around the same price. In that case, why not.

Re:I don't care if they come out with Norton AV 2010, I'm staying with 2003.

I've got about one week longer than you do. I'm hoping to find some irresistable (i.e. free) upgrade offer from OfficeMax or Office Depot soon.

I also wonder just how different a continually updated version of Norton 2003 really is from a Norton 2004.


Re:reasons not to upgrade: 2004 has more reports of problems than 2003 and includes a near useless spyware scanner?
