Understanding Your McAfee Subscription
When you purchase a McAfee plan, it is usually set to auto-renew by default. This means your subscription will

Before making any changes, it’s helpful to:

     Check your subscription expiration date
     Confirm whether auto-renewal is enabled
     Review your current plan and billing details

All of this information is available in your McAfee account dashboard.
