After purchasing my last AV and finding out that it would not activate (their support told me the code on the jacket was invalid), I decided right then and there that was the last purchase I would be making from them. The purchase had been made at Best Buy so I'm pretty confident that the code was valid. I had previously had a similar problem but had then assumed I had already used it once and I knew this time that was not the case as it was fresh out of the shrinkwrap. Sooner or later I hope they figure it out, but it is too late for me. I have enough hassles keeping my 5 home systems running smoothly - no small chore with teenagers in the house. I don't have the time to hassle with software that won't install out of the box.
