i got the bin/cue file from suprnova like a month or two ago and i did the activation progress correctly and it worked, up to now:
i suddenly got this message:
pic gone (prob solved)

what do you think i should do?

I would attempt activating over the internet as you previously have done and once more cut your connection as it is linking to their servers or your modem is dialing or whatever it takes to terminate your session. See if it once more gives you a code and directs you to activate over their automated phone service and use another key.

Otherwise reformat/re-install windows. Start clean.

(edit: I just used Live Update for NIS2004Pro and I do not think Symantec is trying anything through that route as my program seems to continue to run fine)

aww, hell, i just read someting about this like two days ago
its got something to do with what Iz said,
about using phone activation
think you just ignore the activation prompt on your pc
a few times and then it prompts you to do the phone activation :unsure:
i'll try and find the info again..........

i blocked my internet connection with nort firewall and pressed (activate now) ok.
then i got a message saying 'you must reconnect to the internet'.
i got a subscription screen with on the right online and bottom-right 3 buttons. one was next. and from there onwards it was the same like when i first installed it. (activate by phone...)

it's ok now, but i hope it doesnt return in a month or two.

from what i understoood, once you get the "activate by phone" prompt,
you could call it in and activate and never have to worry :unsure:
but still cant find the source......... :blink:
so dont quote me on that :P :D
