Norton 2004 NAV & NIS

[Al Bundy]

I read their DRM FAQ but it's muck.

Can this be run equally functional on two machines in the same household?
Be dammed if I'm paying "by the room".

Hey you get the quality and support you deserve when you pirate
software. I suppose you have the same copy of Windows installed on each
computer, too, along with the same license of Office, and so on. You
don't buy by the room. You buy by the computer.

So why don't you have the other non-NIS computers configure to use a
proxy which is the computer on which you install the one copy of NIS
(that presumably you actually paid for)?

Assumption: wrong


> I suppose you have the same copy of Windows installed on each

Assumption: wrong

Xp on one. W98SE on junker. Copy that came on each machine.


> along with the same license of Office, and so on.

Assumption: wrong

Office Xp doesn't run on 98


> configure to use a proxy

Assumption: computers are networked together vs isolated. Wrong.


> which is the computer on which you install the one copy of NIS (that

Assumption: You got one right!

Go to alt.binaries.test. Look for subject NIS2 post. PDF attached.
Password protected to view. Password is "assumption". Content is receipt
copy. Everyone knows you always keep copies of receipts for rebates.

Thanks for you help...

Correction: pw is plural. assumptions

I highly doubt you can use it on two machines, and even if you can you
may get an unfriendly subpoena. Most likely, actually, you will only
be able to download updates for one copy.

I'd stay far, far away from NIS. For a lot of reasons, it's perhaps
the last security/privacy-related product I'd recommend. Maybe even
behind Evidence Eliminator...

Thanks for the useful reply. Like I said, fairly new in this NG. Reading
& reading months of posts. Seems like this Keiro is a decent replacemnet
for the firewall piece of NIS? And free! And recommended in this group!

Now keep an eye out for a NAV replacement I suppose. Plenty of
subscription time left on NIS.

Yea interesting. Thanks.

My question was over stated then. Re-phrase:

Can this be run functional on one machine?!!!
