I installed it for a client. The activation was not a problem (he has a
cable connection) and only took a few seconds. The first activation
isn't what concerns me - it's the second, third, etc. that worries me.
How much trouble will it be to reactivate after reinstalling Windows
(for whatever reason)? How long will Symantec support that particular
product for reactivation? What bugs will crop up? Symantec software can
be troublesome - when it works, it's great but when it messes up, it's
a bear to deal with. Personally, I've switched to F-Prot on my Windows
boxen, but it isn't user-friendly enough for most of my clients.

HTH,
