Solution

ESET Server Security for Linux users

Depending on your activation method, use the appropriate instructions below. Visit our Online Help topic for more detailed information.

• Activation using a license key:

/opt/eset/efs/sbin/lic --key=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

where XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX represents a license key.

• Activation using an offline license file (meant only for computers that will never connect to the internet):

/opt/eset/efs/sbin/lic --file=PATH_TO_A_LICENSE_FILE

• Activation using an ESET PROTECT Hub or EBA account:

/opt/eset/efs/sbin/lic --username=USERNAME --public-id=VALUE

Licenses are displayed on the License screen on the ESET Business Account:

• • USERNAME is the email address a customer uses to access the ESET PROTECT Hub or ESET Business Account portal
  •  VALUE is the public id (XXX-XXX-XXX) of a license key

If the USERNAME and VALUE are correct, the ESET PROTECT Hub or ESET Business Account password will be required. Type in or copy/paste the ESET Business Account password, press the Enter key, and wait till the “Activation completed successfully.” message is displayed.
