Which to buy?

Hi All.

I have 2 Vista Ultimate quad core computers & have an HP Mediasmart EX485 (Windows Home Server) on it's way.

If I were to buy
3 x ESET Smart Security (Home Edition) Licences for three computers, laptops or workstations

Can I load 1 of the Smart Security licenses on the WHS computer WITHOUT the firewall. Ie as ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4?

Will that cause problems?

 

Hi RalphS,

With an ESS license you can use either NOD32 or ESS with the license that you purchase.

Hello,

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is recommended for Microsoft Windows Home Server because ESET Smart Security's ESET Personal Firewall module can disable access to the server during installation.

A license for ESET Smart Security license lets you download a copy of ESET NOD32 Antivirus in its place if for some reason you are unable to use ESET Smart Security or do not want to install it on a particular computer. It may be less expensive to purchase three ESET Smart Security licenses than it is to purchase two ESET Smart Security licenses and one ESET NOD32 Antivirus license, which is one reason you might want to purchase three ESET Smart Security licenses and use the third to download ESET NOD32 Antivirus, instead.

For more information about ESET NOD32 Antivirus and Windows Home Server, see ESET Knowledgebase Article #2212, "How do I remotely install ESET NOD32 Antivirus (4.0) on Windows Home Server?."
