Why is Norton 360 so difficult to use?

I have been buying this product for many years. Im pretty much done. Why is there ZERO traceability between the “manage licenses” on the “my subscription” web tool and the actual devices themselves? I show devices as using a license that I have no idea what they are. “DESKTOP-V177S5U” means nothing to me and is untraceable to any device I own. I should be able to look at my licenses and get a license code that tracks to the “about” serial number on the device, or the license ID should be the assigned DNS name of the device or its IP address or SOMETHING useable.
Im pretty much done with this product. It has become nothing but nagware. My current license expires in mid-september (about 1 month) and I am very unlikely to renew it.

Community urges users that do not want automatic renewal to cancel recurring subscription service and also remove billing information.

fwiw ~ on my machines -
Norton appears to pick up Device Name from Windows - System Name

In Windows 10 or Windows 11, press the ‘Windows’ key and ‘R’ simultaneously. The Run box will appear — type ‘msinfo32’ and press ‘Enter.’ This is a shortcut to get to the ‘System Information’ app where you’ll find details about your PC and operating system.

Norton account does not display your devices correctly

it getting much easyer to youse when the 24.1 is comming later this year New Norton 360 app

It’s not only difficult to use, right now I’m finding it IMPOSSIBLE to use. It won’t open. I uninstall. I go to the web site to get a download… it is unreachable. I’ve been using this product for many years. Something happened to them. Their website is a maze. It promises much and delivers nothing.

Norton 360 for Windows? won’t open? v22 or v24?
OS details?

Please confirm https://my.norton.com/extspa/account/subscriptions is unreachable?
And you’ve tried another browser?
