Protection Tiers

ESET protection tiers include multiple ESET products for use under a single license. This unique licensing system enables you to protect your computers, laptops, and smartphones using ESET solutions without purchasing individual licenses for each operating system.

All products included in ESET protection tiers can be managed using both cloud deployment of ESET PROTECT Cloud and on-premises deployment of ESET PROTECT. For more detailed information, see the following product pages:

Activation and Download Instructions

After purchasing a protection tier, the purchaser will be emailed a license. Activate this license using the instructions for your corresponding server product below:

ESET PROTECT Cloud

Add your license to your ESET Business Account (EBA). Your license was emailed to you when you purchased your license. If you do not have an ESET Business Account, create an account.
In the EBA Dashboard, click Activate ESET PROTECT Cloud.
In your ESET PROTECT Cloud Web Console, create endpoint security installers and deploy them on the endpoints you want to secure. Alternatively, you can download your endpoint security installers using our Downloads page.

ESET PROTECT (on-premises)

Add your license to your ESET Business Account (EBA). Your license was emailed to you when you purchased your license. If you do not have an ESET Business Account, create an account.
A unique feature of the protection tiers is that they can be managed via ESET PROTECT Cloud. If you prefer to manage your protection tier using on-premises deployment via ESET PROTECT, download and install ESET PROTECT.
In your ESET PROTECT Web Console, create endpoint security installers and deploy them on the endpoints you want to secure. Alternatively, you can download your endpoint security installers using our Downloads page.
