Did you look at the Symantec.com site??

Some products do require an internet connection for activation. It's a drag, but us legit users get punished for what the pirates do.

Well, I figured out how to do it this morning: Just go ahead with the activation procedure without a connection to the net, click ok to all the pop-ups whining about the net connection not working, and eventually you get to a screen where you can select activation by phone. Call an 800 number, punch in 49 digits and get a 34 character key in return. Type the key in and that's that.

Now, the Ghost User;s Guide on the CDROM may say something about how to activate by phone, but the program's helpfile doesn't mention it, nor was Symantec's techsupport webpage any help.

Sheesh.

I am glad you got it resolved. :)
