Electronic Activation Key for new products

Hi

 

i am not sure if this has been covered before?

 

So i will go ahead with my idea and i am sure someone will

reply and tell me if it has been posted already.

 

Why is it with the release of a  new product like Norton Anti-Theft

  that Symantec Norton does not allow users to purchase Electronic

Activation Keys that can be downloaded for activating a web based

download of the software..

 

Just copy and paste, and print out for safe keeping.

It would allow for a quicker turn over of the new product  when released

instead of having to wait for retail outlets or Symantec  Norton regional

online stores to stock the product.

 

The electronic activation key purchase could also be used for existing

Norton programs when purchasing the program from new, where a

renewal cannot be used as the product has not been used or installed

previously on the customers computer.

 

I understand there are alot of users that prefer a hard copy of what they

are purchasing, but there are also alot of users that prefer to download

and install the new product without having to leave their home. I would

save loyal customers who  sometimes travel long distances or have long

waiting periods  for delivery via mail or freight companies

 

I only bring this up as i have purchased lots of new programs online

where you download the program and use the activation key given in

a email to activate the new program.

 

It would be a  fast and efficent means of purchase and instalation of a

Norton product for a new install or a new product release to get the

product out to the customers as fast as possible.

 

Not sure why Symantec Norton does not use this method of product

release and  purchase.??

 

I am hoping  someone will be able to help me with some answers to my

questions and ideas.

 

Cheers. :smileyhappy:

 

PS Maybe wasting time but just trying my bit to make Norton better and a

little bit more user friendly for it's customers.
