Hi,

I use McAfee software for virus/internet protection and I can download and protect 3 pcs or laptops with the 3 licences. I only have one laptop, having got rid of a PC. 2 software licences are in use, one for my laptop and one for the dumped PC.

My McAfee account shows the IP addresses for the 2 computers protected and I want to delete the dumped PC one, but I don't know which is which.

When I look up the laptop IP address, it doesn't match any of the 2 IP addresses in my McAfee account.

The laptop IP address last night is different from today, its an IP v4 address and seemingly changes with each shutdown/restart.

How do I know which licence is the right one to deactivate?
 
It's likely your broadband provider uses dynamic address allocation. Your IP address will change with each session.
