note

The licensing in ESET Cloud Office Security does not allow the customer to choose individual licenses. Instead, license consumption is based on the concept of license pools. A license pool (represented as a company or a site in ESET Business Account or ESET MSP Administrator) contains one or more licenses. The decision about which license a seat is taken is made by the licensing system and should not be a concern of the customer.

Grace period for expiring license in ESET Business Account

When your license is close to expiring, an alert will display in the ESET Business Account interface. If the expiration date passes and you have not renewed your license or activated a new license, the license expired alert will display in ESET Business Account. If an eligible license is not in place, a notification that your license will be suspended in 14 days will be displayed in ESET Business Account, and you will receive an email at the address specified in your administrator account.

You have a 14-day grace period to renew after your license expires. You will be notified in ESET Business Account and by email halfway through the grace period. After 14 days, your ESET Cloud Office Security use will be suspended. The account will become inaccessible and non-functional. A suspended ESET Cloud Office Security account will be stored and reaccessed by adding a new ESET Cloud Office Security license to ESET Business Account. Your ESET Cloud Office Security account can remain suspended for up to 30 days, after which it will be deleted permanently.

If your account enters a suspended state, you will be notified in ESET Business Account and by email when there are 14 days left before your account is deleted. You must activate a new ESET Cloud Office Security license to restore access to your ESET Cloud Office Security account.


note

Users continue to be fully protected during the grace period. When the grace period is over, the users will become unprotected.
