No "assumption" about it. When someone says they need to "fix" or "upgrade"
their Symantec "Corporate" software, they are
talking about one thing and one thing only: pirated software.
The single most pirated software in the world, according to the latest
statistics, is Norton Internet Security.
The OP wanted help with his pirated, non-legitimate copy of a Symantec
product which he probably downloaded from a
P2P site.
I do believe in buying a product if I am going to use it. Pirating software
should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
We should also not encourage those, like the OP, who blatantly use known
pirated software, and even have the
audacity to go to a public forum and ask for assistance with illegitimate
software.
