How to get norton product key from registry

Some thoughts Did you search the registry for the key, using the key in your regedit search? If you did, and it wasn't found then it's either not there or it's masked, encripted. Have you searched ALL files on your drive for text matching the key. Norton may not have put the key in the registry, possibly in a file it looks for later.

One sure fire method to get it all cleaned out and start fresh would be to install Norton on a PC that has never sen Norton. BUT, before you do, take a snapshot of the registry using regshot.

Take another snapshot after the install and compare the two snapshots using regshot. Regshot will create an html, or text file, listing all created, deleted and modified registry entries. Plus it will give you a list of all files deleted, created, or modified.

Use that to go back to your pc and hunt down all the registry entries, and files Norton put on your pc. Not much fun, but it will work if you are persistant. Good luck. I guess I'll have to do the whole snapshop thing like Norm was talkin about.

This sucks. I know I'm gonna waste another half a day finding the key. I'll keep this thread posted if I find anything.

I hate for the rest of the world to have to suffer for some idiots at Symantec. I'm assuming at this point that it's encypted and not in a normal location. Wait 2 minutes, it will keep trying connect to their server. Click on activate now by phone. It will give you phone registration code. Connect to the internet and post the code here and I will generate for you Activation Code. You are good for days. To be human is to choose.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. Originally Posted by rivas. First, I wanna say to rivas I'm pretty sure they track ip's per post, so you must be about the dumbest person I know to post warez in a public forum and to offer more assistance durign the process.

How about you just post your real name, address, phone number, and social so the feds can pick you up faster. Second, YES, I have tried the manual uninstall. Didn't you read all the posts above? I think I covered the whole "I did it all" bit. I did however find a link in NAV07 that actually let you enter another key instead of just a renewal code, thus solving my headache.

It wasn't in the normal spot to look so all my frustration kinda blinded me from it. I am however going to still hunt down in the registry where it stores the subscription key. And so everyone is clear Just wanted to clear that up since I keep seeing the same responses from above that have been answer now at least 3 times.

Please READ.. I mean really READ and absorb what your read before posting. Glad to hear you didn't have to go through the pain of the snapshot method.

Also happy to see you posted how you did manage to work it out, that will help future guests here. Every single person responding to your post s was trying to help you free of charge too , and everyone responding has also been a member here for some time, Rivas included.

Insulting members, for whatever reason, is not only against the Terms of Service that you and the rest of us signed to when registering here, it is also unproductive. Myself, I've been here for quite a few years helping when I can. I can tell you very honestly that in those years I couldn't count how many times someone in trouble stated they had done this or that before asking for help, and maybe even bragged about their computer credentials only to eat crow later by following the exact same instructions that they stated they had already done.

Don't be so hard on people who try and help you, they are no more perfect than you are. To respond to gettoside: 1. I'm not sure how the whole posting a link for the KB, but I can explain it and maybe someone who knows that stuff can add it. When you open the control panel, click on the av tab at top, then click the support tab in middle of page, then click on active product.

This was the odd ball since 06 didn't work the same as this one. I wish that 06 did this, but anywho it's going to be outdated in a year anyways. Yes, when I do find the key I will definitely post it here for all the world to know so no-one else will have to go through this agony.

To everyone: I understand yall are trying to help. The only person I really trashed was rivas with good cause. I did however make it very clear in my first 2 posts that I was only looking for the location of the sub key in the registry ONLY. I did see i put rnav tool, miss leading so I take this one.. I can understand, Norm, that talk is cheap and alot of people talk smack and really have no clue what their talking about.

I didn't mean to come off like that, it just that I was so frustrated with Symantec, and I still am I'm sure everyone here can understand that considering the who this is really all about I will return with a location of the key after I analize the registry comparison. I might send Symantec an email showing what keys they need to add You can view our Privacy Policy and information reqarding our use of cookies here for more information about cookies.
