Every antivirus software has a limitation to extend its protection features to a given number of devices. Thus, after reaching the mark of maximum devices registering with any antivirus software, a user wants an effective solution. However, with Norton, it is possible to extend this protection, but in an alternative way. Let’s understand that Norton ensures that the user can get protection for another new device after they have exhausted their options. Before doing this, the user needs to visit the Norton login/sign-in portal.

How to transfer or remove the license for a registered device?There is a provision available with Norton where a user can transfer the protection from one registered device to another. Moving this protection is a requirement when the user has exhausted the allowance to register the maximum number of devices with Norton. However, another essential parameter that influences this transfer of the license of the Norton product. Hence, to transfer this license from these are the steps as given below:
Open a web browser of the user’s choice (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc.).
Take the cursor to the address bar and hit it to enter the URL for Norton login.
On the Norton sign-in portal, enter the credentials to get into the user account.
From the user account portal, head towards the Device Security page.
Next, among the number of devices registered, select the one for which there is no protection requirement ( If there is a need to remove the license under inactive status, one can remove the same. However, if the user wants to remove some other device, they have to resolve the issues currently coming with that particular device).
Now, select the More options icon present below the chosen device, and in the drop-down menu, tap on the Manage License.
After the Manage Licenses web page appears, hit the Remove License and then click the Next tab.
Give the final confirmation by tapping on the Yes button on the pop-up question menu.
After the removal, that device cannot get any security-based services from Norton because of being deregistered. So, one can now install it on another device to secure the same. The next section deals with the installation on another device.
