Remove a device
When you reach your license limit, or your license is in an overused state, you should free up some license seats by deactivating devices you no longer use. The ESET product installed on the device will be deactivated, not uninstalled, and the device will lose its protection. After disconnecting your device, you cannot manage and view its security in the ESET HOME account.
