Symantec software programs Norton Antivirus 2004, Norton Internet Security 2004, Norton Antispam 2004 and Norton SystemWorks 2004, sometimes reset the activation codes. Some customers have stated that when the computer is re-booted, the product resets the activation code, and after awhile stopping the program from working, and even asking the user to input the product activation code again... and again... and again... and again... and again... and as CNET states; again...:

"A few consumers have complained to Symantec that the U.S. and British versions of a package that includes Norton Antivirus 2004, Norton Internet Security 2004, Norton Antispam 2004 and Norton SystemWorks 2004 mistakenly asks for a product activation code every time a PC is rebooted. Eventually, the software informs the consumers that they have reached the activation limit and the software will cease to function.

"Symantec's software activation is not based on Macrovision technology, Smith said, adding that the company had extensively tested it over the past year without any problems. Symantec's system generates a unique alphanumeric code to identify a PC configuration and ties it to the product key for a particular piece of software. It stores license information on the PC's hard drive and allows for up to five activations for the same product key. "
