Inability to get put through to a human chat advisor with a case number despite many hours trying (over several days) to renew my now expired Norton. It is futile trying to get installation help

Note: Please do not post Personally Identifiable Information like email address, personal phone number, physical home address, product key etc.

Issue abstract:I paid for a Norton one year pass key I had purchased from Amazon. Despite downloading it to my PC I keep getting asked for payment/ my card details to finalize installation. I have already paid for this from Licensix and Norton wants to charge me again! Lisensix raised a case number for me to resolve this problem and Norton claims it tried to phone me and says I had no voice mail (I have). Why can I not access a help advisor instead of pages of irrelevant AI produced “so called” solutions. Norton is so frustrating. I’ve used this product for a decade but never again! Norton should be about helping people not wasting their time by claiming a human help advisor available. I have been sent in too many futile circles - including email codes that just end up with me being cut off by the chat bot. Finding a phone number or somewhere o write a formal complaint is a non-starter.

Did you register new Key with your Norton account?
Amazon Key may be geo-locked.

fwiw ~ I’ll register new Key with my Norton account and activate auto renewal…and then contact support - request new Key term added to current term.

Please review: Contact Norton Support

Norton probably wants you to provide payment profile for automatic renewal.
Afterwards you may Unsubscribe and Delete your payment profile.
Do you already have a new Norton plan Key.
Do you have an expiring Norton plan installed…at this time?

====================================================

Last time I added a new Key. I was offered the opportunity to Skip adding payment profile.

Care to share your geo-location/country. Maybe, I can post Norton support phone number…your location.

Norton Community urges users that do not want automatic renewal to Unsubscribe and Delete their payment profile.

Yes, I’ve inputted the one year product key (which has always worked previously) but, I always get the payment page for a rolling subscription with no way to skip it. In my Norton Security Standard Subscription Dashboard I cannot locate a button to disable my subscription from renewing. I’m sent in circles - my Norton’s expired! I’m very aware of the page to contact Norton support and have been cut off by its chat bot too many times to list. The bot always claims there is no one to deal with the problem and I’m fobbed off with many irrelevant links. I was even sent a case number that was kindly raised by Licensix (who I purchased the product key from) on my behalf to help me - BUT again, I can’t get through to anyone at not so wonderful Norton to use it. I’ve never had problems like this before in over 10 years - what’s gone wrong with Norton Help? Typing this reply is futile. Thanks anyway.

Um, can you uninstall expired Norton plan?

and this was no help?

I just followed all your frame grabs guide to get through to a human - no success. I have tried other combinations as well. I think with my subscription having expired (through no fault of mine) it expects me to pay for another year!
I think what I will eventually do, is delete the downloaded Norton 360 from my programmes (that wont activate without me repaying/ inputting my card details).
I’ll try to reinstall it a fresh. I’ve no hope of this working, so I will most likely look for another security provider . Norton’s service is dire and I would suggest it wants taking to a consumer organisation for its false claims of 24/7 help. Agents are not to be had. Thanks for your time/help anyway.

When this happens. I scratch my head…wondering why I’m able to readily reach Norton Chat support and you (some users) cannot.

Download and run the Norton 360 Remover tool for Windows here

Depending on your situation, you can:

fwiw ~ my practice is to also scour File Explorer for remnants and run CCleaner registry tool. Just me
