If I purchase the CD version, do I need to worry about how many times I install it? Or can I re-use it over the years with each new computer I buy?

I purchased the PC download. You can reuse it on new computers as long as you like the software. I don't think the key will support multiple computers active at the same time unless you buy addditional seats. But it will be limited to PC or Mac version which ever you purchase. And there will come a day when Adobe won't support updates for operating systems developed in the future.

To to confirm the earlier answer, the CD is included as part of the "PC/Mac" version. That way, you can purchase one CD for either the Windows or Mac environment.

Yes, I have installed on 2 computers. You need to write down the activation code the 1st time so you can use it again for the next computer or in case you need to reinstall on your computer. I'm not sure if you would be able to use on more than 2 computers, guess you can try and see what happens.

Yes and I think there is even a version for 5 computers as well. I had it on 3 of mine, got a new PC, uninstalled off &#65279;the old PC and installed it on &#65279;the new PC in under 5 minutes with no problems.

Yes! These discs can be written and re-written numerous times. If you are going to use it for an installation disc you should burn the program to it and set it aside. I wouldn't take the chance of burning an installation application to a disc that had been previously written on. So, put your burned Ubuntu disc in a separate jewel case and label it.

I typically purchase the disc version over the download version for this very reason. I install it, and then pass it on to my brother and sister who who it for both of their families. Since it has 5 federal e-files included, we all e-file at no cost (and still have 2 e-files remaining that go unused). When you pass on the disc you will need to also provide them the Key Code that came in the box as this is what is used to determine how many e-files you have lest. We have been doing this for the past 3 or 4 years.

To the best of my knowledge, if you buy a copy of windows 7 OEM, when you install it on a machine with the provided key, it is then "used", and your key is tied to that specific motherboard for good, and cannot be used on any other computer. When you buy the more expensive RETAIL version, the key is tied to the user, YOU can use it on as many computers as you want, but it can only be installed on ONE computer at a time with either 32 or 64bit. You cannot install one retail copy on two machines. If you want to replace your machine, you can remove/uninstall it from your old one and install it on a new machine. A virtual machine counts as a seperate machine, even if it is the same computer. You cannot install/clean install for an OEM key if the motherboard is different than the original one that the key was used on.

Same version, you just don't get a CD. But I saw a comment that you can redownload from Amazon if you need to. Probably cheaper since no inventory required and no processing costs.

I assume you have windows seven or it could be windows eight, from the time the program was installed on your computer to the time you bought it and started using it, that is how many changes wre made to the program, and they install automatically.It doe's it on mine all the time..

It doesn't matter. If it's new in the box and the key has never been registered, you're 15 months start at the time of registration, and Norton automatically updates it to the current version. If there's any question, open 360 and click on support in the upper right corner. Choose "New Version Check" from the drop down. Norton checks for the latest version and gives the option of updating. All updates are free during the 15 months of the agreement period. I typically buy new but year or two old-hopefully open box- copies of 360 and have done so for as low as $5. I register the key, update, and have the same protection for a fraction of even the discounted product. The worst possible deal is automatic renewal. Oh yes, to answer your actual question, I bought one of these. It was the latest product when posted last year, and the description was never change. Oops! The good news is this product should now be really cheap now and you'll get a great deal on the same protection others are paying a good bit more for.

You should get the box, but if I were u I'd get the down load version, never lose your cd or cd key that way

Yes, I just did. Just becareful "renewing" so you don't accidentally purchase the upgrade twice, (once from Amazon and once from Norton's website!).. you should only have to enter the Product Code after hittting the renew button. If it tells you to make a $ purchase on Norton's website, you're on the wrong page!

It does need a cd key for install so don't buy one used unless they didn't use key.

you have to run it through twice, also be very very very careful of this product, if it doesn't match your Windows system it will not work. If you upgrade computers and your new computer has a different system it will not work.

Thank you for the info. Sounds like though you cannot share a license between comptuers. In the past when I've gotten an ISO copy through school enrollment or employment I've been able to share it among my home comptuers (I believe the limit was 3, but I was really only using it for 2). Also those copies always had an option to do a "custom install" (reformatting the hard drive and starting from scratch) or an upgrade install (keeping files and settings except when going from XP to 7). Seems like the upgrade copy would still be able to do this, but so too woudln't the system builder copy? Or did I miss that in the article. Thank you again. Thank you for the info.

You will still need to run the setup utility that comes with the CD. It is a very easy process the only took me about 5 minutes. I have had no issues in the three months that I have been using it.

Your product key is good for up to 3 computers. It will provide you with a URL to download the software from (unless you are getting the disk, which will prompt you to download the latest updates as well). Then the product key is good for three uses.
