Mcafee Internet Security 2008 Key Code No Code

So I got in on the cheap Buy.com deal on Mcafee Internet Security 2008, 3 user license. The product code is MIS08EMB3RUA. I open the box to find NO serial number or key code at all inside. I go to Mcafee live chat, and the dude says it should have one on the CD sleeve. WTF? Is it possible that the key code is embedded in the CD itself?
All of the other security software I have used in the past has the code on the paper sleeve.
Thanks
 
I just bought some really cheap mcafee online and none of them came with any license key. They install just fine though.
 
I got it installed just fine and updated. The problem is with Mcafee customer service and tech support free chat. Last night, I get told there should be a key code. Customer service says today there is not a key code. OK, I can accept that. How do I register the damn software? She sends me a link that scans the mcafee installation to get the email address that it is registered to. I'm telling her it won't work, and it does not.

I go online to my newly created Mcafee account. It says I don't have any registered software.. try to register it, thinking maybe they have a process that scans the installation to get the serial number. Nope.
All it asks for is the product code. Big help. It still says I don't have any registered software. Then I see a page that says I can only register software purchased directly from them. WTF?

Finally, I get a tech on the free chat that says do a right click on the M icon . And there it is folks, you register it there. It connects up to Mcafee via your online account, and now I see my 3 user software is noted there. That only took 3 hours of chat to get it. He then says customer service chat should have told me this in the first place. Good script for a Bollywood production

I assume they encrypt the serial number within the CD, since I still don't see any serial number within the Mcafee security console.
