Can you use an antivirus disc for more than one computer?

I bought Norton Antivirus. Can I use this on more than one computer?



I have a business that uses 8 computers. 6 are networked and two are not.

Legally you can only install it for however many computers your end user license covers. Otherwise, you can install it on them all. However, it may not work for long. Norton for a while has been using an "activator" process when installing their products. This process accesses the Norton servers to verify the serial key. So it may install and then not let you update the virus signature database on the servers - which makes the AV function worthless.



Norton AV is not that good - you may be better off buying another AV product or upgrading to a site license with Norton/Symantec (expensive). I would recommend for you to check out either the Avira Antivir or the Comodo AV products. Both are free and have been rated among the best for actual virus detection.

It all depends on the number of computers that your license allows. You should know this number when you paid for your license.
