McAfee does not offer genuine lifetime subscriptions. Any website advertising a ‘McAfee lifetime licence’ or ‘McAfee one-time payment for life’ is either a scam or selling an unofficial grey-market key. McAfee sells annual subscriptions only — this is how they fund continuous threat database updates.

Key Points
