If you would like to evaluate ESET Smart Security before making a purchase, select Activate Trial License. Fill in your
email address and country to activate ESET Smart Security for a limited time. Your test license will be emailed to
you. Trial licenses can only be activated once per customer.
If you do not have a license and would like to buy one, click Purchase License. This will redirect you to the website
of your local ESET distributor.
Select Activate Later if you would like to quickly evaluate our product and do not wish to activate it immediately, or
if you would like to activate your product at a later time.
You can also activate your copy of ESET Smart Security directly from the program. Click the Program menu icon
located in the top right corner or right-click on the ESET Smart Security icon in the system tray and select Activate
your product... from the menu.
2.4 Entering username and password
For optimal functionality, it is important that the program is automatically updated. This is only possible if the
correct Username and Password are entered in Update setup.
If you did not enter your Username and Password during installation, you can do so now. In the main program
window, click Help and support and then Activate License and enter the license data you received with your ESET
security product into the Product activation window.
When entering your Username and Password, it is important to type them exactly as they are written:
The username and password are case sensitive and the hyphen in the username is necessary.
The password is ten characters long and all lowercase.
We do not use the letter L in passwords (use the number one (1) instead).
A big '0' is the number zero (0), a little 'o' is the lowercase letter o.
We recommend copying and pasting the data from the registration email to ensure accuracy.
2.5 Upgrading to a more recent version
New versions of ESET Smart Security are issued to implement improvements or fix issues that cannot be resolved by
automatic updates to program modules. Upgrading to a more recent version can be accomplished in several ways:
1. Automatically, by means of a program update.
Since the program upgrade is distributed to all users and may have an impact on certain system configurations, it
is issued after a long testing period to ensure functionality with all possible system configurations. If you need to
upgrade to a newer version immediately after its release, use one of the methods below.
2. Manually, in the main program window by clicking Install/Check for updates in the Update section.
3. Manually, by downloading and installing a more recent version over the previous one.
