Hi there,

I need your help! Can anyone confirm if there is at all a serial number included in the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 box? I sold the SW, which is only the contents of the box, and now the buyer is complaining that the SW is not working on vista and that there is no serial number and that this is all fraud anyway. For $30 bucks after 6 years and nearly 200 feedbacks? I don't think so.

So, could anybody please enlighten me if there is a serial number? And no, I am not asking for the actual number . . .

I use free programs (McAfee & Norton are not nice to a PC) A pay for program has to have a activation code as I understand or the world could buy one & share it. If no one gives a answer return his money.

Customer: Description: McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008

Does this software use a serial number during installation?
Reason: I can not find a slip of paper with the serial number in my box.

Sean Paul: Hello ... , you do not need a serial number for installing the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008.

Customer: Thank you Sean Paul. This is all I needed to verify with you, Have a nice evening!

Putting a serial number activation code on the box itself defies the logic sniff test. Because then anyone could illegally download the program, go to a store to find the boxed product, and just jot down the activation code with no purchase necessary.

McAfee may not be the best product going, but putting the activation code on the box would take incredible stupidity.
