Proper use of offline and legacy license files

An offline license file is meant to be used only on computers that are never connected to the internet.

Legacy license files can be used on computers that are connected to the internet.

If you utilize sites in your ESET Business Account portal and want to create an offline license file for company use (not for a specific site), ensure a free license seat not allocated to any site is available.
