Norton antivirus...can it be installed again?

I bought Norton Antivirus about 2 months ago and all was working fine but then i had to have a new hard drive put into my laptop.

The guy at the computer shop who did the hard drive said "he can not re-install Norton because of the new hard drive being put in and plus the serial key for Norton has already been used prior to when my laptop was working just fine.

Is there anything at all i can do to find a way around this or do i have to buy the Norton again.

At the moment i have the (Free Avg Edition)

Many thanks....

    when I did use Norton, each year, they wanted more for the coverage than they were selling it in the stores, no brainer, I bought it new each year , removed the old, reinstalled, no problems. I no longer use Norton, I use microsoft's free program now.
