7.After a successful login to the ESET HOME account, your recipient can accept the invitation. After the invitation is accepted, the recipient can download the activated product directly to their device, depending on the shared subscription type, or use their ESET HOME account to activate a product installed using the standalone or Live installer. A shared subscription with the appropriate number of shared units appears in your recipient's subscription list.

Shared subscription units appear in the Device overview list on the subscription details page. The user's email address and current status represent every shared subscription unit. You can cancel your invitation or stop sharing your subscription unit by clicking the three-dots menu icon three_dots_menu and selecting Withdraw.
