Not entirely sure about the legality of it.. but heck, if it doesn't prompt
you to upgrade your subscription then my guess would be that you don't need
to. Provided of course that you can still get the update definition files...
my experience with Norton Antivirus products is that they start bugging you
about a month before the subscription period is up.
If you are happy with your current version of NAV and the new version
doesn't offer any significant advantages to you, then why upgrade - maybe
next year the new product will have some features that you want, re-assess
your needs then.
