Free Upgrade for Many Norton NIS Users

Some of the older versions of Norton Internet Security will pop up a message saying you can get a free upgrade to 2009. However, when you are really ready to do it, there doesn't appear to be a way to easily start the process.

I have found that the following link seems to work to get you to where you can upgrade to 2009.

We recommend NIS 2009 as it seems to be a big improvement over some of the earlier versions.

Anyway, if you are stuck trying to get to the free upgrade try

That should work. Of course, it will only work if you have a valid NIS license.

Your mileage may vary.
