Default Can't "Update Virus Signature Database" in v6 Beta

It may have something to do with my license not being activated. When I go to change license, "Activate beta version," is grayed out.

Any ideas? Reinstall?

If you open the main setup (F5) and navigate to Update -> Update. Is a username and password already entered there?

No user name and password entered. Changing it to pre-release update with the radio button doesnt work either. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling... I think its because i upgraded from v5 without uninstalling it.

i have the same problem, but i'm not buying upgrading from 5 to the 6 beta is the problem. i was not given the option of joining the beta program to create a username and password for smart security 6. see image below. one last thing if this is the future of eset-ss, logging in to get the signature files i'll be finding another security suite.

Hello,

That does not look like a standard version of Microsoft Windows.

Hello,

That's what I am trying to ascertain. Could you tell us a little more about the environment in which you are using the beta test version of ESET's software?

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

Hello,

So, no programs which modify the behavior of the Windows shell installed?

ESET has posted the following alert on their Knowledgebase. It should only be a few more hours and updates should then resume automatically.
