Product Activation

Use the Product Activation task to activate an ESET security product on a client computer or a mobile device.

To create the task, click Tasks > New > add_new_defaultClient Task or click the desired client device in Computers and select New Task.

Basic

In the Basic section, enter basic information about the task, such as a Name and Description (optional). Click Select tags to assign tags.
In the Task drop-down menu, select the task type you want to create and configure. If you have selected a specific task type before creating a new task, Task is pre-selected based on your previous choice. Task (see the list of all Tasks) defines the settings and the behavior for the task.

The Product Activation task can activate a mobile product, ESET Endpoint For Android, also using an offline license.

The activation task cannot activate ESET products of version 4 and 5 with the offline license. You need to activate the product manually or use a supported product version (we recommend using the latest version).
