This will no doubt start a raging debate over whether or not Norton is necessary or even a good idea
Very important - sadly Norton can and will force you to enter your credit card info just to get the product up and running.. but from there it's easy to go into your online norton account, turn off automatic billing (just be very careful what you click on to make sure you are really cancelling) and after that you can delete the credit card info you just entered and the Norton product will still work.
There is an argument that Windows Defender (comes free with Windows) is enough and the Norton purchase is not necessary, here's some articles that talk more about this

But if you have say family members or friends who are just not that computer-savvy and you feel they won't know enough to follow say pcworld's advice... "Not visiting shady websites, Not downloading unsolicited files, Not clicking links in emails or social media messages" ... you could make an argument the Norton might be worth it for them.
Do prepare yourself for Norton's non stop "I'm going to try to frighten you into buying this extra norton product and I will tell you the world will come to an end if you don't" tactics that pop up even if you disable Norton's "do you want ads" (seriously this is something you can adjust in settings in Norton and they still do it

Does the extra three months remain if you turn off auto-renewal. There is a comment in the reviews that you need to keep on auto-renewal to have the full 15 months. (Usually, you can turn off auto-renewal, let the subscription run out and then add a new license key the day it runs out. They bill the auto-renewal about 35 days before the subscription ends. They will refund the billed amount for auto-renewal up until at least the renewal date.)
The product page says that this is for new subscriptions only. Some comments say you need to uninstall Norton first before adding the new product key to continue using Norton and some say you just need to add the new product key.
Does anyone have experience with how this works specifically with this Amazon download version?
