I recently got prompted to buy a new subscription for liveupdate. I noticed I need tp purchase a cd-key from Symantec. Anyone know if it`s possible to find a valid cd-key to use, or any other way around this problem which will ensure more virus updates?

get urself a copy of this...

File: Norton_AntiVirus_2003_Live_Update_Crack.ace (sig2dat:///|File:Norton_AntiVirus_2003_Live_Update_Crack.ace|Length:2255 Bytes,2KB|UUHash:=ZeywPhUt3tGDbzQtCIAVNDD3//8=|)
Length: 2255 Bytes,2KB
UUHash: =ZeywPhUt3tGDbzQtCIAVNDD3//8=

just manually enter the hash with sig2dat, or ksig, since quicklinks dont work out here, or just manually search for part of that file name

C:\program files\common files\symantec shared\LiveReg\Catalog.livesubscribe

^ Delete this file and re-install Norton Antivirus. You'll have a fresh new subscription then.

Search your drive for that file. It might be in a different place in NAV2002.

Or it might have a slightly different name.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe :) That's it on my computer.

Nope doesn`t work. I deleted the livesubscribe file, and reinstalled Norton internet security (including NAV2002). It seems to work at first with the subscription service beeing pushed forward by 1 year, but when I run liveupdate it confirms my subscription and then I get prompted to renew my subscription. And now the expiration date on the subscription service is the same as before :/

It does initially I guess, but when run liveupdate it catch me somehow, and the subscription date changes back to the old one.

I too have NAV 2002. I do this. Roll back the date on your computer to before the date your liveupdate expired e.g if it expired on the 1 june 2002, roll it back to 1 june 2000. Then try the liveupdate. Once completed roll your date forward ;).

Just search for that crack i posted, and u will have none of those issues... it cracks it for like 30 years or something crazy... i posted it for a reason, cuz it works! I use it...

if the hash doesnt work, via manually entering it, just search for that file name... i got it from klite...

Wait.. did you buy this copy of NAV2002?? If so then that's probably part of your problem. Reinstalling should give you another years subscription. But if your reinstalling from the same copy as before and using the same key then i'm sure there'd be problems.. think about it. Normally would simply reinstalling the same old info update anything.. symantec's not stupid. My advice is to go to the verifieds section and DL a copy of NAV2003 and intall that. I'm not sure why but it'll always give you a year from the date you installed it.

Yea I`ve reinstalled the same bought copy, but I might just give that liveupdate crack a try. B)

the crack does work however you will have to make the files that you replace in the crack READ-ONLY so that they don't get overwritten but Norton

(originally posted by an unregistered menber, in the Guestroom)
search Kazaa for "Norton Aplications 2002-2003 LiveUpdate Subscription" and you'll find something for ur needs. and yep, search for 'Aplications', no double 'p' here. just copy and past, WITH the " ".

(following was submitted by Satan)
Then, after you have this cracked file (LiveSubscribe), go to(make sure you can see hidden files):

(2000/XP)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe

(9x/ME)
C:\WINDOWS\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe

overwrite the old file with the new cracked file, and it will say that your subscription last to 2029, but after you exit and reopen Norton, it will have dropped till one year after the file was copied.

This way, NO reinstall will EVER be needed, and you can do this every day, or every year to keep everything in top shape!

That's a killer tip MaRmAR. It's a trip seeing " Your subscription service expires on 1/5/2041." TY :lol: :lol: :lol:
