Is it limited to 1 year use or longer or no limitation?

There is no limit,Ghost can be used for as long as you want but only licenced for 1 pc.

Oooooooooops....

I just talked to a norton representative. I was told that it's valid for only one year and I need to buy another one after the period. How does it come...

Double checked with a Norton Ghost person. The product key will never expire.

Obviously the representitive needs better training. At least he/she should not give a wrong answer.

Hi,

It sounds like the rep misspoke. The antivirus products are all subscription based. You renew your license to use the product each year. There are still a few that you pay for the license once and it is good for as long as you use the product. Currently Ghost is one of those products. Understand that this can change with the next version [no, I don't have any iniside information] so if it should change don't be too surprised.

Hope this helps

I still use Ghost 12 on my multi boot machine, when installing on Win7 just ignore the warning and install it.

Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit?

I use it on 32-bit, I can't see the sense in upgrading to 64-bit just yet, not cost effective for me.

I'd be cautious about installing older programs in Windows 7 64-bit that say they are not compatible. For example, when I went to Windows 7 64-bit, I installed an older version of a popular CD/DVD burning software. I ignored the warning that it was not compatible and just installed it. After that, the machine would not boot.  It's a good thing that I had just backed up with Ghost! I guess it installed a driver that was not compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. Oddly enough, I have installed this same software on a Windows 7 32-bit Virtual PC. It seems to work fine. I'm guessing the driver(s) installed were 32-bit only and caused Windows 7 64-bit not to boot.
