Share the download link to install Norton

You can send an email message with the download link to install the Norton product on your additional devices. You can also send the download link through text message, or copy the download link to share it later.

The download link is valid only for 14 days. So, you must download the product within 14 days from the date you received the email or text message. If the download link expires, you have to resend it.

Share the download link

  1. Sign in to your account.

  2. In the dashboard page, click Download.
    If you want to install a different subscribed product, go to My Subscriptions. In the My Subscriptions tab, select the Norton product with an active subscription and click Download.

  3. In the Get Started page, click Send a Download Link.

  4. In the Protect another device page, do one of the following:

    • Email: Type the email address in the text box.

    • Text: Select a country and type the mobile number to send the download link as a text message.

    • Copy Link: Copy the download link to share later.

  5. Click the send or copy button.

Install Norton on the device

  1. Open the email or text message from the device on which you want to install Norton.

    If you do not find the email in your Inbox, check your spam folder. The emails sent by Norton are legitimate and are not spams. For more information, read How do I know if the email I received from Norton is legitimate?

  2. Click/tap the download link.

  3. In the page that appears, click/tap Agree & Download.

  4. Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.

I get an "Unable to Activate" error when I install Norton from the email invite

Check if the email that you received is directly from Norton and not a forwarded email message. Norton keeps track of the recipient email addresses to which the email invites are sent.

A simple solution is to send a new download link to install the product.

Alternatively, if you know the product key, you can manually enter your product key to activate your service when prompted. For more information, see How do I find my Norton product key.
