You think THAT is bad? Up till NIS2005 which I haven't tested so cant say if it does or doesn't, you could install 
Nortons, run the year and then wipe your machine and reinstall all then install Nortons again and get yet another full 
year licence without paying a cent, over and over and over. In short, buy once and never pay again.
