Email regarding subscription expiry

I purchased a 1 year Norton internet security subscription renewal, but I have still received an email a week later saying that I have lost my Norton protection. Is this just an automatic message that should be ignorned?

 

I think I know the difference between anti-virus and internet security, but what is Norton 360?

Hi,

 

Welcome to Norton Community.

 

Yes, If you already renewed your subscription then you can ignore that email.

It could be possibly coming because of one of your other/older product keys registerd under your Norton Account.

 

Norton 360 is also one of the security products, it is a better product compared to the other two because it has all the features of Norton Internet Security and additionaly it has a a "Backup feature" which allows you to backup your data and important files, and also a "pc-tune up" feature which helps in speeding up your computer.

Re: Email regarding subscription expiry

I always get these emails since I renew with a new product key every year. Even though I always register under the same Norton account I've had for years, the automated system can't seem to figure out that it's still me.

One of the reasons why this happens even when you register under the same account is, because a lot of people register more than 2-3 active or to-be-activated products under their account.

 

For the server to stop sending renewal mail and to understand it is the same customer who has purchased a new product key, it might have to deactivate the older key or may be, do a "take-over process" which will render the old product key useless. And if that product key belongs to a different person in the same family ( say it belongs to customer's parents or grand parents) then they would not be able to renew the subscription.
