Subscription Activated Automatically based on the Purchase Date

I realized Norton has changed the way it delivers the license at the online store. The subscription begins as soon as we complete the purchase. Can Norton make this as an option instead of forcing the subscription to begin right after the purchase? I prefer the previous system, where the license begin to count down based on the activation date on my PC (not based on the purchase date). This way I can also purchase extra licenses to keep whenever there is a promo.
