From windows to mac

Hello.

 

I bought my Norton security back around 2011, long ago and I still got time on it until 2013 + some months in!

 

But since I bought it, ive had to do a change in computer, so I had to switch from my desktop to a laptop to be more mobile, and I wanted to try out Mac, so I bought a macbook pro. my question is now then, will i have to buy the mac version of the anti-virus now or is there anyway i can download mac version instead of windows version??

 

I cant belive they would split up windows/mac versions and force you to buy 2xproducts + 2xtime if we say, you had a desktop and laptop of were its 1windows and 1mac... Anyways I just dont know how to be able to get the mac version... Unless i buy a new produkt, which would be pretty lame since i still got allmost a year left on my time :)

Re: From windows to mac

Thanks for the help, though no luck.

 

I got in contact with the support, and apperently you have to buy Norton AnitVirus again if you change operating system.. talk about **bleep**ty support :) anyways not gonna by anything from symantec again if thats how they intend to earn their money. time to put money into the opposing force....

 

apparently norton aint good for mac anyways

I believe support is incorrect. Contact me privately here on the forums.
