[richie05mx]

Hi, I download the Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition to my laptop,
and it cannot function, because it said this program is not compatible
with Windows Vista. I want to know how can I upgrade this program to
function well in my lapotop. Thank you

Contact either Symantec or the Systems Administrator from whom you
obtained your out-dated copy of SAVCE and request the Vista-compatible
version (10.2).

That is incorrect. It may be that the version the OP used was
incompatible, but Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition v10.2 *is*
Vista-compatible.

nothing norton is .

Another misstatement. Containing unnecessary bloat and using too many
system resources is not at all the same thing as being incompatible.
Anyway, Symantec's enterprise-level products, such as SAVCE, are for
superior to the consumer-grade products sold under the Norton brand, so
your comment above is both untrue and irrelevant.

use either AVG OR VISTA FOR VIRUS PROTECTION BOTH free AND WORK FLAWLESSLY.

AVG may well work, although I seriously doubt any software product can
ever be made "flawless." But Vista had *no* virus protection. Why
would you suggest it?

Symantec Corp Ed 10.2 is fully compatible with Vista and works well on
workstations, don't install it on servers yet. If your company has
maintained their licensing you can get it free from Symantec or you will
have to pay for the upgrade.

Go to a store and buy a legitimate copy instead of being a thief and taking
something that is not yours.

Mikey is purely full of shit. *ALL* current retail Norton products are Vista compatible.

Quite an assumption you have there. Two points:

1) Symantec Anti-Virus corporate edition is not available to home
consumers via retail channels. It is designed as a centrally
controlled, enterprise-level solution, sold only to businesses. Hence
its name.

2) The SAVCE license permits purchasing companies to distribute copies
to their employees' home computers, recognizing that many people
carrying work back and forth between home and office. This is a
potential security hole that helps SAVCE cover.

No "assumption" about it. When someone says they need to "fix" or "upgrade"
their Symantec "Corporate" software, they are
talking about one thing and one thing only: pirated software.

The single most pirated software in the world, according to the latest
statistics, is Norton Internet Security.

The OP wanted help with his pirated, non-legitimate copy of a Symantec
product which he probably downloaded from a
P2P site.

I do believe in buying a product if I am going to use it. Pirating software
should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

We should also not encourage those, like the OP, who blatantly use known
pirated software, and even have the
audacity to go to a public forum and ask for assistance with illegitimate
software.

He downloaded it from one of the many P2P networks that exist only to
illegally distribute
pirated software.

There's a chance you might be correct, but you're clearly ignorant of
SAVCE's licensing terms. The OP could easily have come by it legitimately.

Perhaps, but I know of no single individual who goes through the time and
expense to buy a legitimate
copy of it for a single computer.

In the P2P world, "Corporate" edition is nothing more than a cover word for
pirated copies.

You'll notice that the OP has not responded to this thread...another sign
that his copy is not legitimate.

If the Op had indeed a legitimate corporate license, he would have the
commensurate support and not have to ask
in these forums.


Again, we should not condone and support piracy of any kind, and we should
not assume that anyone who posts here
asking assistance for "Corporate" editions are using legitimate copies.

Of course not! It is an enterprise level solution, sold to businesses.
The employees of these licensed businesses are permitted to use SAVCE
on their home computers.

In the P2P world, "Corporate" edition is nothing more than a cover word
for pirated copies.

You're basing your accusations on the product's name? We're not in the
P2P world; we're in the real world. It's also the brand name of a
legitimate Symantec product.

http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/products/overview.jsp?pcid=2241&pvid=805_1

You'll notice that the OP has not responded to this thread...another
sign that his copy is not legitimate.

Or that he's not particularly adept at finding his own thread,
again.... His post was pure "newbie," after all.

If the Op had indeed a legitimate corporate license, he would have the
commensurate support and not have to ask
in these forums.

This isn't a forum, it's a newsgroup. You'd best learn a little about
newsgroups, Symantec products, and the real world before you start
blindly condemning others.

Again, we should not condone and support piracy of any kind, and we
should not assume that anyone who posts here
asking assistance for "Corporate" editions are using legitimate copies.

No one is supporting piracy, but only a fool would accuse someone else
of theft based solely upon his own complete ignorance of the subject at
hand, as you have done.

Been using Norton products since before Peter sold the company to Symantec.

Notice the complete silenced from the OP?

I would have to agree with Bruce. I use Symantec Corporate Anti-Virus on my
home computer. It's offered to all our employees by our IT department
(state government) for use at home to help protect our office computers when
work is transferred back and forth. This is permitted under the terms of
the software license and is completely legal. I don't know about the OP's
copy of the software but mine is certainly not pirated.
