NAV subscription is not right

[SA]

I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall NAV 2002 Everything wend fine
except for one thing. My subscription that is suposed to run out in Feb
didn't show. Instead, I have a 3 month subscription then I have to renew.
How can I get my renew in february not april?

A lot of people get their NAV (or MCAfee) when they get a new machine. I
suspect a lot of those people will continue with whatever is installed (I
did). A re-install is not practical with supplied system restore cd's.

That happens when you re-install NAV. The file catalog.livesubscribe
determines how long the subscription has to run and is renewed when you
re-install. You can presumably buy a new subscription in February - or
today - by contacting Symantec, though why you should want to beats me. This
has been the case since at least NAV 2000 and it seems to me if Symantec
cared they'd have done something about it long ago. Actually you need never
renew your subcription because of this, it'll keep updating the program
right up until Symantec ceases to support it.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.

I daresay, though clearly the OP has an OEM NAV cd.

Shane

Yes. the NAV CD came with my computer.
