I did this on a customers pc with NAV06 still installed yesterday and it worked like a champ.

You should also be able to download the appropriate trial and use your existing 2006 product key.

Pc-cillin did that months ago.

It could have something to do with Vista being released.

John,

I read that you said NAV2007 is great, but how is the entire suite? Any better or still very bloated?

Did I actually say great? :p It's much better than the old versions in the bloat department. Since Norton has a huge fan base I have no problems recommending the '07 AV. I've noticed th installation takes a lot longer than other competitive AV's (Kaspersky, NOD32, etc) and it seems to put a lot of hooks in the system.

I have not tried any of the Norton '07 suites since I am not a suite person. :cookie:

I just tried this and it didn't work for me. The downloaded checking software complained about its inability to access keys (even though running an admin account). And I couldn't find the path to your link through the normal website. Maybe I'll try again later...

i bought this at costco for 39.99 i think. Gives 3 licences and after i installed it (which takes quite a while) it seemed to work great. Even tho AVG i had installed said i was good, after i installed norton, it found an additional bunch of low risk tracking cookies ect that AVG had failed to find. Makes me wonder...
