Is it limited to 1 year use or longer or no limitation?
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.
In the for what it's worth catagory I'm running W7x64 and Ghost 15. Both seem to be working well.

But Ghost 15 was intended to be used on Windows 7 64-bit. Ghost 12 was not.

True, but then almost everything else is still running x32 so with a little luck and a lot of care it should work. Maybe not so well that it can still be supported but still work.
I will just add that 32 bit software is reliable and so is Ghost 12 on any O/Ss, if G12 had the facility to run a "cold" image then with out a doubt I would Only use G12.
When the team start on the next version of Ghost they need to look very closely at the way in which it differs to G15, I have said before that it is far easier to "Clone" using "Image/Restore" with G12 than it is with G15. That is only one point I have picked up on in using both versions.
