In addition to a username and password, ESET Remote Administrator, ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Microsoft Exchange Server, ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Kerio MailSever and ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Kerio WinRoute Firewall require license keys for full functionality. License keys and authentication data for these products are delivered to the email address used at the time of purchase (contact email).

The license key contains the following information: product name, owner, number of licenses, and expiration date. This information is displayed in the tab, which is also used to add the license file to the system. In order to upload a license key, please follow the steps below:
