Certainly it was easy to obtain from Amazon, at a fraction of the price of automatic renewal, and was delivered next day. I'm incredulous that so many people have found it easy to install compared to my experience. Installing it proved to be something of a nightmare this year, however. It's not easy to review this product as when it's active Mcafee seems to provide a good level of protection. The product is entirely cardboard and there is no useless plastic CD to send to landfill in 12 months time. I'm really happy with my choice and in addition I love how recyclable this item is. In my review, I've tried to answer all the questions I had when I was hesitating over this purchase and I hope it is helpful to anyone else unsure which packaging option to choose. The download procedure will then follow as for your first device. Choose the 'download' option in the adjacent 'Action' column and you will first be asked to make a note of the McAfee Serial Number shown. Here you will see a summary of your current subscription and the number of licenses remaining for download. On my second device, I logged into my customer account at and then chose 'My Account' and the 'Subscriptions' menu option. Again this was very straightforward, although just slightly different from the instructions included. I then followed the instructions in the software packaging to download McAfee to a second device. The whole process took about half an hour in all. After logging back in, the installation process continues with several further prompts and then you're done. Next, the software automatically detects and removes any previous version of McAfee on your system and then prompts you to restart your computer. (It did pick up a program on my system which I know has co-existed quite happily with my previous McAfee version for the last three years, so I chose to skip that option). Following the prompts, the download and install process first scans your system to check and remove any malicious items that might be lurking on your computer and also checks for any software that might be incompatible with McAfee. I didn't go for this as I think I will probably just buy and install the 2016 version when this subscription ends. You can also register your credit card details for automatic renewal if you wish. The software packaging is similar in size to a slim CD case and contains a retail card with the web address and product key code you will need to activate your subscription along with instructions.Īfter entering the Product Key Code, you have the option to either register as a new customer, or like myself, log in to your existing account. I did have some concerns as to how easy it would be to install using the 'frustration-free' option, but I found it to be very straightforward procedure. My current laptop came with an earlier version of McAfee pre-installed and I've been delighted with the user-friendly interface, so whilst I was happy to continue with McAfee it was much better value to buy the 2015 software instead of simply renewing my previous subscription.
