[liberationtech] All licenses have been revoked by Norton due to Iran's sanctions!

[Silent1]

I wonder if this is related to the new sanctions against Russia and they’ve applied them to the wrong group, the timing is very coincidental otherwise.

Hi,

I received many reports from Iran which people saying that their Norton Licenses which bought through someone in outside country or some resellers inside Iran who access to credit cards have been revoked from Norton.

 

one of them contacted Norton and they said that we can't speak with you through phone because we have no business with Iran. [I have a case number as well.]

 

​when people are going to Norton website they will see this message below, before that you should know that US Treasury lifted some sanctions include selling Anti Virus to Iran about 5,6 month ago. http://oti.newamerica.net/blogposts/2014/us_government_clarifies_tech_authorizations_under_iranian_sanctions-103425
