NIS 2012 lost activation - Norton account server down

When I logged in, Norton 2012 claimed I needed to activate my copy of NIS 2012, despite it having been activated for months.  I re-activated it and went to check on my Norton account to make sure that it didn't use another license of the 3 I had and the web site isn't working.  It keeps timing out and giving "Application Error" messages saying the server is not available.

 

Is there something happening?  Are these two things related?
