Norton Internet Security Box version

I normally buy the box version of Norton Internet Security when it is on sale. It was easy to buy previously because there is a year printed on the box. Like it is 2013 now, I should pick a box that reads 2014.

 

The current version of Norton Internet Security box version now does not print the year. Does the year matter? My NIS subscription expires April 2014. If I buy a NIS box that is for 2013 or 2012 and used it to renew my NIS subscription in April 2014, do I get the full 1 year of subscription?

Actually, I need to clarify because I used the word subscription and that may confuse the issue.


Because I buy a new box every year, I get a different product key every year. There is no renewal actually.

 

Let me rephrase the question. If I buy a NIS box that is meant for 2013 or 2012, and activate the product key in April 2014, do I get a full year subscription from April 2014 to April 2015?

Yes, the key is activated and valid for a whole year subscription at the moment you enter it, not earlier.

 

I suppose you know, that when you buy a box with a key, you need to enter the new key only one day before the subscription expires. Otherwise you will lose the remaining days of the previous key.

Thanks for confirming "the key is activated and valid for a whole year subscription at the moment you enter it, not earlier."

 

Yes, I only enter the new product key one day before the subscription expires.

 

Good, I can now safely take any NIS box at the stores without worrying about losing subscription days.

Just so you have no surprises later. If you purchase a 3 user license - all three will expire one year from the date the first one was activated.

If you activate the first one in Nov, all licenses will expire next Nov (even if you do not install the 2nd or 3rd one until April of next year).
