Customer Reviews Summary

Updated 2024-09-20:I just did another renewal using Amazon, and this one went very smoothly. This time I followed the Amazon instructions and was taken to a screen to select which license to renew. This page allows the renewal to be added to the END of the current license, so you can renew before the expiration date without losing days. If you try to renew using the McAfee utility and enter your Activation Code there (like I mistakenly did last year), it creates a new license starting with the current date, so if you still had a month on your old license, you will lose that month. (Not to mention that the installation won't work and you'll have to follow the Amazon instructions anyway but can't change the expiration date.)After selecting the license you want to renew, McAfee will try to get you to complete your activation by entering your credit card info for auto-renewal the next year. This is optional—even though it looks mandatory! The link to “Continue without additional benefits” on that page is not obvious (see photo), but this is the ONLY thing I selected on this page. After clicking to continue without additional benefits, you should be able to open the McAfee application and check the Subscription tab to see that the expiration has extended a year.I’ve extended the McAfee protection license on my father’s Windows-11 computer twice now. It is the same license that you would pay much more to purchase directly from McAfee, but Amazon uses high volume sales to lower the price significantly.After the purchase, the license activation code is loaded into your Amazon account “Your Games and Software Library”, which also has instructions on how to redeem the item. You will also get an e-mail. If you follow Amazon’s instructions, you should have NO problems with the installation.If you are running on Windows, do **NOT** use McAfee’s utility to activate your code. This will cause problems and result in an error. The utility says the code is “activated” but the download will fail. I believe that many complaints and negative comments on the activation are due to not following Amazon’s instructions to fully activate the McAfee license (which I accidentally did myself the 2nd time around). If you accidentally try to activate using McAfee’s utility, just follow Amazon’s instructions to install and all the problems should clear up. (BTW: McAfee’s solution to the failed installation error is to re-install McAfee, which really isn’t needed.)Hope this clears up some confusion and helps others.
