McAfee is bringing a new licensing strategy, enhanced features and a security-as-a-service model to the latest versions of its security software. In a move it dubbed a "triple play," the security vendor announced that it is taking security for PCs, mobile devices and on the Web a step further with <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2191472,00.asp">updates to McAfee Total Protection, McAfee Internet Security Suite and McAfee VirusScan Plus.</A>

Each product comes with three licenses, and customers can purchase additional licenses for $10 a piece for a year. In addition, new licenses are automatically made to expire at the same time as the current licenses, with users paying for only for whatever time they have the additional license. The new unified licensing plan is meant to make life a little less expensive for users, said McAfee officials.
