How do I renew my license?
KB Solution ID: SOLN570|Last Revised: June 24, 2009

To verify that you are eligible for renewal pricing for your ESET security product, use the following checklist:

  • You can renew your ESET security product's license online starting 60 days prior to the expiration date. If you allow your license to expire, you have a 60-day grace period to renew. If you wait longer than 60 days after the expiration date, you will not be eligible for renewal pricing. If it has been more than 60 days since your license expired, you can purchase a new license through ESET’s online store. If you need help checking your expiration date, click here.

  • The email address you use to validate your renewal license must match the email address you used in the original order or activation. If you do not know what email address you used in the original order or activation, contact Customer Care.

  • You can only renew licenses online for Home versions of ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus (from single licenses up to four-user packs). To renew more than four licenses, Business licenses or licenses for other products, please call 1-866-343-ESET (3738) or contact your reseller.

  • If you would like to upgrade your product license from ESET NOD32 Antivirus to ESET Smart Security, call 1-866-343-ESET (3738).

  • You cannot increase or decrease the number of licenses during renewal online. You can only renew the same quantity of licenses that you originally purchased. For example, if you originally purchased one four-user pack of licenses, you can only purchase one four-user pack of licenses at the renewal price. If you would like to change the number of licenses you are renewing, call 1-866-343-ESET (3738).
