ESET Secure Authentication

ESET Secure Authentication (ESA) version 2.8 (and later) supports license activation from your registered ESET Business Account (EBA) portal account.

License pool

1.You have an ESA license with 10 seats; therefore, two-factor authentication (2FA) protection is available for 10 users.

2.You activate ESA with your EBA account.

3.If you need 20 additional seats, you can purchase a new ESA license with 20 seats, import them to your EBA account, and allocate them to the same site as the previous license.

4.You can enable 2FA for additional users without having to reactivate ESA.
