My laptop was stolen before I registered my Webroot. I have now registered it but when I want to add the PC to my account it wants me to install it on a computer that doesn't have Webroot and I do not want to disable my Norton.  I want to trace the computer and locate it somehow.  Can anyone help?

Just for verification... what you posted sounds confusing.  I have it installed but i don't have it installed.
  • You have webroot installed on the computer that was stolen using a registration key that wasn't registered to any account
  • you then registered the key to an account 
  • and you the key to a console as well and now it's asking you to install it on a computer.
 
You should just have to wait a while for it to populate the stolen computer to the account... This makes a couple of assumptions
 
  1. They didn't reinstall windows
  2. it's connected to the internet
So, unless they connected it to the internet and didn't reinstall windows....   Also another downside...  Did you have a password on the computer?  or does it log straight in?
