No, it's not your browse...I suspect you need to contact your company's Symantec contact who can give you access to what you need. I have the same issue. It's probably done to prevent abuse of the system.

If you are having issues ordering NFR Licences via PartnerNet, see the step by step instructions below to get activated on the Partner Benefits Administration System (PBAS).
 
You can order licences from the “Your Partner Program” link, then selecting “Benefits” and then selecting “Software Licence Benefits” (see below)
 

 
You then need to click on the “activate now” link as instructed on the page (see below), to ensure you have access to the Partner Benefit Administration System (PBAS).
 

 
Once you have been activated, you should be able to scroll down and click on the licence type you wish to order – eg, “Order NFR Licences”, “Order Internal Use Licences”, “Order Evaluation Licences” etc.
 
You should then be presented with a Terms and Conditions page, which you need to select “I accept the Terms and Conditions” and click Continue (see below)
 

 
This should then take you to the PBAS (Partner Benefit Administration System) which looks a little like the ORR Portal if you are used to using that.
Your company information should already be filled in, but its worth checking the shipping address is correct etc.
You then need to click on the 3rd tab PBA Order (see below).
 
 

 
This will take you to the next page where you need to select “New PBA Order”
 

 
 
Then select which type of licence you would like.  You may need to accept the T&C’s again if prompted.
 
You will then be presented with following page, and you should scroll to the bottom and select “Save and Add Product”
 

 
 
 
You will then be presented with the product page.  If you type the Product Name in the Product Field eg“NetBackup” this should bring up all the licence options that are available to you under that product and that licence type.
 

 
Once you have found the licence you would like to order, you need to tick the box next to it enter the quantity you require, then click “select”.
 
On the next screen you need to click “Save” if you are finished or “Save and add more products” if you would like to order any more licences.
 

 
 
Once you are taken to the next page, you must click “Submit for Approval” otherwise the order will not get sent for processing.
 
Once you click submit, a padlock icon should appear next to the item – which means you cannot edit the order as it has been sent.
