Norton IS problem when un/reinstalling tcpip?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

You can un/reinstall Norton IS and AVP. Both applications recorded your first
date of the installation into registry keys. Your subscription still remain
the same. If you know what key and how to remove those keys, you basically
get another year of subscription.
