Can you take a moment to click on "Pick as best answer" on one of the comments, probably the first one that suggested burning the file to CD/DVD when you get a minute? If you do that it allows us to then convert this into an official question/answer so it can help others in the future. If you do not see that option please let me know.

That most likely will not work. You need the original file that you downloaded. At this point your best bet might actually be to go visit your local coffee shop or nearest location with free wifi access and download Norton 360 again from that location. This time when you do it make sure you keep the file that you download so you can burn it to a CD/DVD, this will make it so you always have it in case something happens in the future and you need it.

You need to burn that file onto the DVD/CD and then put the DVD/CD in your laptop and then drag the file off the DVD/CD and put it on your laptop. From there you should be able to run it. You are saying you are clicking on the file and getting a warning when you try to run it from the CD. What is the warning you are getting if the above does not fix your problem.

The easiest way is to burn it to a CD or DVD, this is a great way to do it because you will have it when you need it in the future. Other options would be, if you have a network setup, to share the file and grab it with the other computer. You most certainly can copy the file from your desktop to your laptop.

They have the Norton 360 product on http://shop.symantecstore.com/store/symnahho/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.106300/productID.81884500/pgm.12018200 On that page it says "1 Year Protection for up to 3 household PCs" so yes you can install it on your laptop as well as your desktop.
