Baffled

Hey guys, hope someone can clear something up for me.

 

I'm a fairly recent Mac convert and long time NIS for windows user.

 

My partner bought me "internet Security Mac Edition Dual Protection" for christmas, which I installed and it ran, mostly.

 

Then I upgraded to Lion and my goodness does it have problems. Auto protect crashes and all sorts.

 

Now after trying to google a solution it appear that a much newer version of NIS is now avaialble to what I seem to be running. 4.1.1 via live update.

 

This version I have doesn't seem to have any kind of activation on it though, unlike windows where you have to register/renew etc - this one just runs although the box says I have 1 year of protection.


Does this mean I am eligible to upgrade to the latest version inside of that year? Bit confused how it works for the mac version vs the windows version which I know you can upgrade as many times as long as your subscription is valid.

 

Hope to hear from you :)
