How to download and install ESET Version 9

Description: You have already purchased your license activation key for your ESET product, and now you want to download and install the product. Or, maybe you need to reinstall the software on your computer or you have a multi-device license and you want to install ESET on another computer. This article will show how to download and install the ESET product.

NOTE: These instructions assume that you have already purchased your license activation key. Additionally, it is important when downloading your ESET product that you choose only the exact version of the software that you actually purchased when following these steps. Choosing an incorrect version will allow you to go through the entire process but will fail to activate at the end.

  1. Go to the ESET Downloads Page
  2. Select Windows and then Download next to the appropriate product version.
