Manage devices in your Norton account

Your Norton plan allows protection for a limited number of devices. This article helps you quickly see how many devices your plan supports, how many you are already using, and what to do if you need to add a new device.

Definitions

What Device licenses mean

Your Norton subscription includes a set number of device licenses, which determines how many devices you can protect. One license protects one device, such as a PC, Mac, smartphone, or tablet. For example, a 5-device plan lets you protect up to 5 devices at the same time.

Used devices

Used devices are the ones where Norton is already installed and using a device slot in your plan. For example, if your plan lets you protect 5 devices and Norton is installed on your laptop and your phone, those 2 are your used devices.

Available devices (available slots)

Available devices, or available slots, are the remaining device spots in your plan that you have not used yet. In the same 5-device plan, if 2 devices are already protected, you still have 3 available slots for another computer, phone, or tablet.

Manage your device slots

When all device slots are used:

  • Remove a device you no longer use to free up a slot.
  • If you still want to protect more devices after removing unused ones, upgrade your plan from Norton.com/products.

Your subscription stays active even if Norton is not installed on any device yet. If your subscription expires, all connected devices lose protection, and you have to renew or purchase a new plan to stay protected.

Unexpected or higher device count

You may see more devices listed than expected if Norton was reinstalled, if you stopped using a device, or if a device was reset or renamed. In Manage Devices, review the list and remove any duplicates, offline entries, or old devices you no longer use.

Check how many devices you are using

  1. Sign in to your account
  2. In the top-right corner of the page, hover over My Account and click My Subscriptions.
  3. Find your Norton plan to see how many devices are included, how many are in use, and how many are still available. 
  4. Hover your cursor over Manage Devices to view the full list of devices currently using your plan.Manage device list

Remove your existing device and transfer your license to another device

If all your device slots are in use and you want to free up space, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Norton account.
  2. In the top-right corner of the page, hover over My Account and click My Subscriptions.
  3. Move your cursor over Manage Devices under the plan you want to manage.
  4. Click the bin icon next to the device you want to remove.
  5. In the pop-up window, click Remove to confirm.Remove devices from list

    Removing the device is recommended only if it is lost or is no longer in use. After removing the device, that device is no longer protected, and the slot becomes available for another device.

  6. Under your Norton plan, click Download or Share.Download or Share
  7. If you are on the device you want to protect, select Agree & Download. If you are not on that device, click Send Download Link to Email or SMS the link to the new device.
  8. Open the installer on the device and follow the on-screen steps.
  9. Sign in when prompted to finish activating your Norton protection.
