Are you an Android user? Click here to reset a lost or forgotten password for ESET Mobile Security for Android

Complete the items on the checklist below to troubleshoot this issue:

Use only the Username/Password/License Key generated for you and sent to the email address you provided while registering/purchasing a license. For example:

• Username: EAV-12345678
• Password: abcde12345
• License Key: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Copy/paste your Username and Password, or License Key (depending on product version) into the activation screen and be sure not to select an extra blank space.

If you cannot copy/paste, type your Username and Password, or License Key, EXACTLY as they are written:

• The Username and Password are case sensitive
• The hyphens in the Username and License Key are necessary
• The Password is ten characters long
• The License Key is sixteen characters long
• The Password uses all lowercase characters
• The letter L is not used in passwords (use the number one (1) )
• A big '0' is the number zero (0), and a little 'o' is the lowercase letter o

If your Username and Password, or License Key still do not work:

Clear the update cache in your ESET Windows home product.

• Your license might have expired, renew your license
• If you do not know the expiration date of your license, visit the Lost License page to have this information emailed to you
• You never received an email from ESET containing your Username, Password, and License Key
• If you recently renewed your license, wait 24 hours before downloading new ESET product versions or upgrading from ESET NOD32 Antivirus to ESET Smart Security
• Make sure you downloaded the correct product for your license (check your receipt or license email from ESET)
• Make sure you are downloading the right ESET product build for your computer
