SlickdealsForumsDeal TalkNorton 360 Deluxe 2021 - Antivirus software for 3 Devices with Auto Renewal - Includes VPN, PC Cloud Backup & Dark Web Monitoring (DL) @Newegg $13
We have the 10 user version, I think it's called 360 Premium now. A few months back I renewed with the Amazon version, and it was pretty seamless. But I'm pretty sure that it activated upon purchase, not installation. In fact I was aware that this might happen so I timed my purchase till after my previous subscription expired, so as to not lose any days on the renewal.
Is this pretty much Norton/Symantec's policy now, or only if you buy the Amazon version, and is there any way to purchase a renewal before your current subscription ends, to take advantage of a sale, but without its being activated upon purchase? I get their desire to maximize profits, but I don't have to help them do it this way. Capitalism works both ways.
Would this be a good replacement for when Xfinity drops Norton Security Online?
I've been reading up on antivirus apps and have actually read good things about Windows Defender and feel it will be adequate for my needs when Xfinity drops Norton. I don't see a need to pay for an antivirus app.

My last purchase from Amazon was in 2019 and I activated it in early 2020. However, it did not allow me to extend my subscription at end of previous subscription. Callled Norton but they said no to extension.

Xfinity will no longer provide Norton for free after the end of the year. They want you to pay for their own security app.
If I apply new keys will it stack-up?
