Im confused...

I bought the McAfee anti virus program some £80 with my laptop 6 months ago, all is fine on that front however i have just purchased a media centre and ive tryed to instal the disc on that but its only giving me 30 day trials???
Is this right? i thought seeing as i perchased the program i could use it on any of my computers?

Esentially the software is free, it's the licence you are actually buying and it usually only covers one computer. You could check the McA(large)fee website to see if you can purchase another licence or you could install one of the free virus checkers (e.g. AVG) http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
