Cannot download software

Hello,

I have a LiveSafe subscription with unlimited licenses for devices.  Whenever I go in to the https://home.mcafee.com portal though and go through the "Protect all your devices" section to get a link for a new download, the links the system sends never work.  I can download for PC, which I have done and that works.  But the "Send Link" will always send a link that comes to a page that says "The page no longer works".  It can't be an expired link as I try it immediately, so something else is wrong.  Since I can download for Windows I haven't worried about it too much so far, but now trying to protect a Mac and the download button is greyed out when I pick it.  So my only option is to send a link.  Any thoughts as to why?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Cannot download software

Thank you @Sudharsanam_G1. It is certainly not outdated temporary files and cookies.  This problem persists even on a new virtual machine with a new install of chrome and this is the first link I try to ever open on that computer.  Here, try for yourself.  This is a brand new link I just generated, I'm guessing it won't work for you, even if you delete your temporary files and cookies.

Protect me

I do appreciate your reply and will contact support. 

Thanks,

Mark
