Moderators mta Posted June 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2015 Half way through my annual subscription and Norton's prompted with a nag screen "You're half way - do you want to renew now?" sort of message. So I thought what the heck, I'll look and see what it costs. Cheapest I could find was $69 (1PC, 1yr), I only paid $29 for it initially !!! So I figured why not just buy another one from scratch and I found my computer store I get parts from sells them for $13 (OEM) or $18 (Retail). Yet another example of they sell things cheap to hook you in then sting you come renewal/replacement time. And, of course in case others do this to, if you renew at any time, the new license gets added to your remaining days whereas a new license will replace the current one so only 'renew' when the current one is about to expire. (those prices were AUD but the relativity factor should be a guide as to the price differences any where) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2015 At least Norton can be bought for a very cheap price when bought new in a box if one looks around. I remember back in 2000 when I bought it the local Staples store wanted twice the price of what Amazon.com had it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
