199808 2003-12-12 07:56:00 I have searched the Symantec site and have not been able to find out what I want to know as my brain is a bit dumb.
Can someone tell me, if I install my new copy of NIS 2001, which I got cheap from TradeMe, will it be eligible for free updates to the present day + a year?
Also, when installing NIS would I be right in thinking that I would be given the option of just installing the antivirus component and not the other components like firewall, etc?

199809 2003-12-12 08:04:00 You will be given the opportunity to choose what you wish to install during installation so you can choose to only install the antivirus and leave other services like the Firewall.
As for the updates, I would guess no as it most likely already has been used, however you can only try.

199810 2003-12-12 08:10:00 Thanks. It was new - foil-wrapped still when I bought it, but Symantec no longer give online support for it, and I wondered if that applied to the updates to. ssssss (2100)
199811 2003-12-12 08:22:00 You should still be able to download the updates for it and get it as updated as possible - They're like Microsoft, even though they have stopped support the updates still exist although you might get messages telling you to upgrade to a later version. cyberchuck (173)
