How to transfer antivirus software from old laptop to new laptop

Jump to solution

Hi,

My father has an account with McAfee that allows him to protect multiple devices. I currently have the McAfee LiveSafe antivirus software installed on my old laptop. I recently purchased a new laptop and I was enquiring as to whether or not its possible to transfer the software to my new laptop? Or does it have to be deactivated on my old laptop and reinstalled on my new laptop? Please let me know how this is done.

I would be greatly appreciative for any assistance you could provide. 

Kind regards
