Guys, I bought NIS 2010 and installed it in my home laptop.
I'm thinking of installing the same NIS to my 2nd laptop in the office.
Since I use different internet provider in my office & home, will there be any problem with Symantec identifying the 2 different IP as an attempt to hijack the software ?
Thanks.

not sure what you are asking. did you buy a 1 pc lic or a 3pc lic. if you bought a 3 pc one you are fine. if you bought a 1pc one than no you can not install it on 2 systems, they will blacklist your lic
-
ic. I forgot to mention that I intend to buy 3 Home licenses.
But I wonder whether this term "Home license" means the three computers must be in the same location, sharing the same internet connection, hence the same IP address. Or whether the 3 computers are allowed to have their own IP address using different providers, or at different location. That's what I feel unsure. I do not want to buy and install in 3 computers, and later find out that Norton blacklist my license because the 3 computers seems to have different IP address, or used from different location. -
I think you worry too much. I installed 2 at 2 different locations for about a month now.
-
I doubt the IP addresses and stuff will matter, as long as you don't exceed the number of PCs.
-
they record a machine id. they do know if it is activated on more than one system with the same single lic. if you buy a 3pc lic you can use it on 3pc's simple as that
-
No, only the number of licenses activated is all that matters. I'm currently using all 3 of my licenses on 3 separate computers in 3 different locations. One is out of state even.
-
I suppose in the worst of all possible worlds, they might come around, notice that one of your licenses is being used on a "work" computer as opposed to a "home" computer and holler at you for that, but the odds of winning the gazillionaires' lottery are probably better than getting an in-person license check from Symantec.
-
yeah it does not matter where the three are or the one etc just that you do not exceed the number the lic is allowed for
NIS 2010, shared between 2 laptops
