  What is product activation?
Product activation protects you from pirated and counterfeit software. It limits the use of Norton programs to those who bought them legitimately. When you install your Norton 2008 product, you must use a unique product key to activate it. You can activate your Norton 2008 product during the installation, or after you install it. If you activate it after you install it, you must do so within a limited time, or your Norton 2008 product will not work.
