Symantec Hit by Product Activation Glitch

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the humbled-beginnings dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to this article, Symantec has hit a snag in their product activation scheme. On a certain machine, the software machine would always ask for the activation when the computer is started or restarted, despite the fact that they have thoroughly tested the scheme." According to the article, Symantec has finally managed to replicate the problem, and those hit by the bug are asked to contact Symantec's support channels. However, there's no mention of a fix yet.

    WOW, a bug cropping up on one weird machine, and the valiant efforts of Symantec to duplicate the bug.
