How to activate your ESET Renewal

Description: This article will show you how to activate your ESET subscription renewal.

If you have time remaining on your previous license, your renewal license will extend that subscription.

  1. Once you have completed the purchase of your ESET license subscription renewal, it is time to use the renewal license key to renew/extend your ESET subscription. This license key can be found on the order submission page:
    Micro Center Order Confirmation Page
    If you already closed the order submission page, you can still view the ESET renewal license key from the order confirmation email. Highlight the Product License Key and copy by pressing CTRL + C (Windows) or Command + C (Mac).
