What is an automatic renewal?

ESET auto-renew ensures that your ESET licences and products are always up to date, providing continuous, year-round protection. ESET handles the billing and renewal for you using auto-renew, and you’ll be entitled to special renewal pricing.

By enabling auto-renew, you agree that at the end of your licence period, ESET will automatically renew your licence using the payment details currently on file. See our auto-renewal policy for more details.

ESET will inform you about the upcoming auto-renewal and the renewal prices 30 days before your renewal date (for annual subscriptions). After your subscription automatically renews, ESET will email you the transaction details.

What is 3D Secure and why is it required?

3D Secure/3D Secure 2 is an extra layer of payment protection on the ESET eStore. If your card issuer supports 3DS, you will be asked to complete an extra authentication step with your card issuer when making an online payment.

Typically, you will be redirected to your bank’s website or a mobile application where you type in a password or a code sent to your mobile phone to verify the payment.  

This helps protect you from fraud and makes payments more secure.
