I had heard that you could just download the updated Norton Internet Security version (in this case, 2011), and use it with a key from older software (in this case, 2010), as long as you still had subscription time left on the key. Is this still true, or no longer true?
I see where I can download 30-day trial versions of the software on Norton's site, but I can't seem to find where to download full versions that unlock with a key. Do the trial versions become full versions if you install a valid key into them?

Edit: I fixed it. I had a copy of NIS 2011 too, in the box, I just didn't want to open it if I could help it. I installed NIS2011 off of the CD, then when it came time to "activate", I punched in the key code that came with NIS 2010, and it worked. So, I'll keep these two together, and with both of them, that's six licenses of NIS 2011.
