Norton Family "Server Unavailable" error: Last Name!!!

Hello all,

 

This is a forum post to say that I had an issue, KatieQ helped me out and nailed the problem in 15 minutes.  I wanted to share with other frustrated folks.

The problem was that any time I needed to authorize against the server to disable Norton Family, update accounts, or even uninstall,  after I typed username and password I got the error "server unavailable".  

The problem was that in my Norton account details, my last name had a space in it and the space needed to be removed.  the fix is:

  1. go to www.mynortonaccount.com
  2. select "Personal Information"
  3. remove the space from the last name
  4. Save

After these steps, immediately I was able to update accounts successfully.

 

Hope this helps others!!!
