Is your Norton Antivirus telling you it's expired, even though you've already paid for renewal? Or is your payment failing for no clear reason? Renewal and billing issues are common and can be very frustrating. This guide will walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve them.
Step 1: Verify Your Subscription Status in Your Account
First, let's confirm what Norton's servers are seeing. Don't rely on the pop-up on your desktop.
- Log In: Open your web browser and go to the official my.norton.com website.
- Check Subscriptions: Log in with your email and password. Go to the "My Subscriptions" tab.
- Verify Details: Here you can see the exact expiry date of your subscription and how many device licenses you have. If the date here is correct, the problem is likely with the software on your PC not syncing correctly.
Step 2: Update Your Billing Information
If your auto-renewal failed, the most common reason is an expired or invalid credit card.
- Go to Billing: While logged into your Norton account, find the "Billing Information" tab.
- Update Card: Check that your credit card number, expiry date, and CVV are correct. If you got a new card from your bank recently, this is likely the problem. Update it with the new details.
- Retry Purchase: Once updated, try the renewal process again.
Step 3: Manually Run "LiveUpdate"
If your online account shows that your subscription is active but your desktop app says it's expired, you need to force it to sync.
- Open Norton: Double-click the Norton icon on your desktop or in your system tray.
- Run LiveUpdate: On the main screen, look for "LiveUpdate" and click it. Let it run until it says "Completed". You might need to run it a few times and restart your computer.
- Check Status: After restarting, check the subscription status in the app again. It should now show the correct expiry date.
