I am running McAfee Total Protection 2010 on 2 computers - one is XP and the other is Vista. I purchased a disk with Total Protection 2011. Must I uninstall 2010 first, or can I just insert the 2011 disk?
When I installed 2010, I just put the disk in.
Thanks, cb
It should be OK just to install over the old one as long as your current product isn't a branded one (Dell, your ISP or similar).

Next I have to do the others that already have 2010.

As long as your subscription is valid it will automatically upgrade when the time comes.

I also installed it on 2 other computers that had been running Total Protection 2010 - using the new product code.
Now all 3 computers say McAfee Security Center - NOT Total Protection. Does that mean I'm not getting the full version of Total Protection 2011 that I paid for?
What should I do now?
Thanks, cb

In the unlikely event that takes you over your license quota call Customer Service also under that link, it's a free call. They'll sort it out.
