Install or re-install McAfee on a PC or Mac
The first time you start your new computer you are prompted to register your pre-installed LiveSafe product.
During registration, you will be asked if you agree to share information with McAfee.
If you select this option, your LiveSafe product is automatically set up for you as part of your computer’s normal setup process.
If you do not select this option, you can still activate your LiveSafe product later by selecting the McAfee tile and creating (or logging in to) a McAfee account.
If you purchased a LiveSafe retail card, you can redeem your purchase by Calling our McAfee Installation Support and Assistance Call McAfee Support at 1888-885-6488.
IMPORTANT: If you are using a Mac, before you begin, open your Downloads folder and verify that it does not contain an older version of the McAfee installer .dmg file.
If you find one, rename the file.
Having an older copy in your Downloads folder could cause your Mac to mount the wrong installer and prevent your product from successfully activating.
