Getting Started
McAfee provides a wide range of tools and resources to help you get the most from your
products and ensure that any problems are resolved as quickly as possible.
Grant Number
Your Grant Number is the key to obtaining the benefits of your McAfee support, including
product downloads, updates, access to the McAfee Technical Support ServicePortal and
Technical Support Technicians. You should receive your Grant Number by email after
purchasing a McAfee product. Your Grant Number should be kept in a safe place as without
a Grant Number, it may take significantly longer to submit a support call or access online
content.
If you lose your Grant Number you can re-request your Grant Number by contacting McAfee
Customer Service here:
https://secure.mcafee.com/apps/support/customer-service/request-
form.aspx.
Setting up your ServicePortal Account
Setting up an account on the McAfee ServicePortal https://mysupport.mcafee.com/ enables
you to submit online support cases, track cases, use online Chat Assistance and customize
ServicePortal content.
To set up an account for the first time, clickNew User” in the User Login section of the
ServicePortal. You will be prompted for your name, email address, Grant Number, and
preferred language. Passwords must include uppercase characters, numbers, and at least
one special character.
The email address domain name you use should match all other users registered with that
Grant Number. If you need to register with a different domain name, contact Customer
Service.
Checking your Entitlements
Once you have logged into the McAfee ServicePortal you can check your support
Entitlements by selecting View All My Company Entitlements under Interactive Support.
