After I buy the full version of Norton Mobile Security on the Norton Online Store, what's the best way to install it? Should I download the Lite Version from the Google Play Store and upgrade it to the full version? Should I scan the QR code from the Norton Mobile Security download page? Or should I download it from Norton.mobi/nms? Or are all three options good ways to download? Sorry for posting so many questions.
Hi Atheos
I have found the easiest way to install the Norton retail or online store version of NMS is to download the apk file
from the Norton servers - www.norton.com/nms
This is done using the device which I want to I install NMS on. Then tap the download arrow in the notification bar
to start the install after the download is complete.
Make sure in the device settings that you allow the device to install non Google Play Store apps before installation
of NMS, if not done before you will be prompted when installing anyway.
Then you will be asked for the product key for activation, this will be in the email from the Norton online store purchase.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Awesome! Thanks so much for the information! The only question I have now is, do I have to download the Norton Anti-Theft Plugin from google play, or is the full version of Norton Mobile Security going to have everything in it? Thanks again.
Hi Atheos
Once you have installed NMS there is a link within the UI of the NMS app in the set up anti-theft features and download add-on which is the Anti-theft plugin. You will have to register and activate NAT. Then you will be fully protected. Log into the NAT website and test .
Cheers .:-)
Sounds good :) Thanks again Smithy for the help and the information. Much appreciated :)
