Hi,
Thanks for the message. Can you please let me know what it means when you say "Read it was a reg key". Can you please let me know the exact error message you get? It says something about reg key?
Thanks

I was installing Norton Family on a new windows 8.1 laptop that my son will be using. It installs fine but when I go to add device it lets me login but then says "family server is temporary unavailable. please try again later". When researching the problem I see a lot of others with the same issue and they mention you "KatieQ" remote in a add/change a registry key. I work in IT and would like to know what needs changing in the registry.
Thank you

My Norton Family account email address is "[Removed]
Ok I tried. It install successfully but then a new window comes up that wants to add the computer. I put my email login and password (successful), then says "Name your Device". I keep the suggested device name but when I click "save" it says validating and comes back with "The Norton Family server is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"
I made sure Microsoft firewall is off and time zone date/time are correct.
