Starting November 15, 2023, ESET introduces a new subscription system for all home customers with three new simplified subscription tiers. Subscription tiers are designed to protect the overall household's digital life, privacy, and security.
These changes include new functionalities such as VPN, Identity Protection, Browser privacy and Security extensions, and more.
The ESET HOME portal has been updated to be a complete security management platform. It allows you to manage your subscriptions, devices and overall protection of your household's online presence.
Main changes
- License is being renamed to Subscription.
- License Key is being renamed to Activation key.
- It is mandatory to have your subscription managed in ESET HOME to activate the new products. Improved ESET HOME serves as a complete security management platform.
For more information on subscriptions, see the subscription FAQ (home and small office users).
Types of subscriptions
- Manual renewal subscriptions need to be manually renewed before they expire to keep the protection active.
