McAfee Help

Reactivate your software

You can reactivate your software if you want to start protecting a PC again. By reactivating your McAfee software with an available or new license, you receive software updates that always keep you and your PC fully protected against the latest viruses, spyware, and other online threats.

If you have an available McAfee license, use it to reactivate your software on this PC. Otherwise, you can buy a new license to reactivate your McAfee software.

If you purchased your McAfee software through an Internet Service Provider (ISP), you cannot deactivate or reactivate your software.
