Reinstalling works...[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#13)

For a while, it looked like Symantec was going to sunset NAV 2003 when I used the reinstall trick above with less-than-one-year expiration dates in the June, 2005 timeframe, but that has changed...  I used the trick above to reinstall Systemworks 2003 (no activation) on 11/29/04 and found NAV now has definition updates thru 11/29/05.  I just don't get that company...

(Hints for reinstalling Systemworks 2003--make sure you uninstall ALL Symantec apps, including LiveUpdate 2.5.  Then go thru your Program Files subdirectory and delete anything Symantec-related, including the "Symantec Shared" subdir (I believe it's under \Program Files\Common Files.  Reboot & reinstall.  You don't have to delete keys from the registry).
