NIS 2011 has installation bug

I am a long-time user of NIS.  When I attempted to install NIS 2011 3 User from CD, I was never given the opportunity to enter my new Product ID.  Instead, it installed the new version but said I had only 3 days left to my subscription.  When attempting to activate from my online Norton account, I was only given to option to purchase a new download of NIS 2011 at the same price I had just paid for the CD.  Again, no place to enter Product ID.  I had to go to chat to find out that I had to click the Renew button (hidden at the bottom in small type) in the new NIS main page.  This is a new and counterintuitive approach to the install and

should have been documented on the installation instructions that came with the CD.  It was not.
