FAQs For Home Products
How do I renew, upgrade or add additional devices to my subscription?
You can renew, enlarge or upgrade your subscription at any time.
- Start by logging into your account using your License key or License ID.
- To renew your subscription, select the “Extend” option and adjust the period or number of devices you’d like to cover.
- If you want to add additional devices keeping the original expiration date, select “Enlarge” and adjust number of devices you’d like to cover. We’ll match the expiry date and calculate the pro-rated price for your extra devices.
If these options are not present in your account, it’s likely that your subscription has already expired. If this is the case, we recommend purchasing a new subscription.
How do I retrieve my subscription information?
If you have lost or forgotten your subscription information (username, password, or license key), you can have it resent to your email address. Simply click here and insert enter the email address you originally used to register or activate your ESET subscription.
How can I cancel my automatic renewal?
Auto-renew is continuous, unless you turn it off after your purchase, via your account. Turning off auto-renew will not cancel your subscription—your ESET protection will continue until it expires. We will notify you before expiration so that you may renew manually.
You may cancel automatic renewal at any time.
- Start by logging into your account using your License key or License ID.
- Proceed to the Subscription Management page, where you may use the “Auto-Renewal” slider to cancel the renewal of your subscription.
- Confirm your selection to renew manually.
How do I download/install ESET after purchase?
You can install ESET by following these simple steps:
- Uninstall any previously installed antivirus software on your system.
- Choose and download your ESET product on this page.
- Install by following on-screen instructions.
Additional details regarding product installation and activation can be found here.
How do I activate my retail product subscription?
If you have purchased a boxed ESET solution, you can activate it here.
Do I need to reinstall after renewing?
No, if you renewed your subscription you do not have to reinstall on the same computer. No further action is required for home users after renewal.
Some home users might experience a brief delay before the expiration date is updated and program module updates are downloaded. Your virus protection will remain active and your computer will be secure during this time.
I just renewed, but my old expiration date is still displayed in the program—why?
Users may experience a brief delay before the expiration date is updated and program updates are downloaded. Your virus protection will remain active, and your computer will be secure. If you renew before your expiration date, your new expiration date will not take effect until your original expiration date passes. If more than 24h pass and the subscription is still showing as not updated, activate your product again with your license key.
I never received the subscription email containing my Username and Password/License Key – what can I do?
If you do not receive an email from ESET within 24 hours of purchasing or activation, see below for suggested actions to take:
- Check your spam and secondary inbox folders.
- Gmail users: Look in the Promotions folder.
- Visit the Lost License page to have your ESET-issued Username and License Key resent.
If you still do not receive either message, your email address may have been misspelled during the purchase process. In this case, complete a technical support request.
