But this time, I got lucky.
Okey-dokey, I went to the Swiss site of Symantec (since I live in Switzerland) and tried to chat. Unfortunately, the chat service is only available from Monday till Friday over there. So I tried the USA site. Chat service 24/7! After about 15 minutes waiting, an analyst came to the rescue and managed to solve the problem. Here is the solution:
Open Protection Center of NIS.
Go to the tab "Norton Internet Security"
Go to "Support"
Go to "Subscription"
Choose second option in the window that appears: "Restore or use my subscription using my ProductKey" and click next
Type in or copy-paste product key.
The NIS product will connect to the Norton server and ask you to log into your Norton account. Do so. It will then list the correct number of days remaining until the subscription expires. Click on Finish; Protection Center will now display the correct number of days remaining. Ouff!
