Hi Topi,
  Here's a link to the Symantec (the producers of Norton products) site and their Systemworks End User License Agreement which in the first paragraph states you have it ofr a year and after that time you haveto renew via their site. 
 I would have hoped upgrading to the 2006 edition would be an easy procedure once you have paid your dues to Symantec. Possibly just an activation code or a CD that loads up the new 'patch' for the latest version. 
 Hope this helps. 
 Gc
