[ALERT8762] Unexpected alerts in ESET PROTECT On-Prem after bulk license changes

Alert Details

Issue overview

ESET PROTECT On-Prem version 12 release

ESET PROTECT On-Prem version 12 was released on December 12, 2024.

This version addresses all licensing update issues mentioned in this article.

We recommend that all users upgrade to ESET PROTECT On-Prem version 12. If you choose not to upgrade to version 12, follow the instructions in the Manual workaround section to resolve the issue with alerts.

We have identified an issue in ESET PROTECT On-Prem, where some licenses have changed product codes during the implementation of licensing updates to our backend systems. This change has resulted in a mismatch of license activation tokens in previously created Product Activation client tasks, Software Install client tasks and installers, leading to product activation failures.

This issue has already been fixed, but the alerts indicating a problem with a license are still visible in ESET PROTECT On-Prem version 11 and earlier.


Issue manifestation

In the ESET PROTECT On-Prem Web Console's Client Task screen, the following alerts may appear:

  • "The referenced license is not accessible"
  • "Insufficient access rights or license is not accessible"

Affected users

This issue affected ESET PROTECT On-Prem users who had Product Activation client tasks, Software Install client tasks and installers linked to impacted licenses. Specifically, ESET Endpoint Security + ESET Server Security licenses, which were previously part of the ESET PROTECT Advanced, ESET PROTECT Complete, ESET PROTECT Enterprise, and ESET PROTECT Elite tiers (cloud-eligible licenses only). 

The issue is fixed in ESET PROTECT On-Prem, but alerts are still visible in ESET PROTECT On-Prem version 11 and earlier. We recommend that all users upgrade to ESET PROTECT On-Prem version 12

If you want to fix the issue manually, refer to the Manual workaround section below.
