account problem after laptop repair

Jump to solution

Recently my Asus laptop was repaired.

The laptop was returned like new, including the free trial version of McAfee.

The McAfee sortware I bought earlier (usable until 2025) was removed, as well as windows 365 and the files that were on my laptop. 

I do not know how to "reactivate" the McAfee version I installed earlier. It appears that in my McAfee account only the trial version is known.

Anyone around with a similar experience? Thanks in advance,

Maarten Speet
