Norton AntiVirus "your antivirus subscription has expired" issue

   Some users of Norton AntiVirus for Mac OS X may start encountering
"Your antivirus subscription has expired" messages when using
LiveUpdate to update their virus definitions.

   This issue will affect users who have installed Norton AntiVirus
versions 8.0.x or 9.0 under Mac OS X at least a year ago. It may
also affect users of version 9.0.1.

   The solution is to update this product to version 9.0.2 using the
installer available on the Connecting@Berkeley 2005 CD or on the WSS
Software website, as described below.

Mac OS X: Norton AntiVirus 9.0 or 9.0.1's LiveUpdate feature reports 
"Your antivirus subscription has expired" when you attempt to update 
virus definitions (August 18, 2004)
Solution: This issue is resolved by installing the Norton AntiVirus 
9.0.2 update, which is available on the Connecting@Berkeley 2005 CD 
and can also be downloaded from the WSS Software website 
(http://software.berkeley.edu).
Details: Norton AntiVirus for the Macintosh has a built-in one-year 
expiration period, which begins when you first install it on your 
computer. After expiration you can no longer update Norton AntiVirus 
with new virus definitions using its LiveUpdate feature. The message 
that LiveUpdate displays after expiration is similar to the following:
   Your antivirus subscription has expired. In order to continue
   receiving virus definitions, you must buy a new subscription key.
Installing the 9.0.2 update to Norton AntiVirus 'resets' the 
expiration clock for an additional one-year period.
