It used to be so easy to simply download the manual version of NOD32, but seems to be a pain now, can someone link me to the page for the manual download for Windows 11. Thanks in advance!

Never mind, user error, lol. First time I tried, the hyphen didn't show, so I automatically thought it didn't want them, which is sometimes the case in some instances. Apparently it does, haha, because that did it. Imagine that! I'll blame my age, lol.

I have a 3 computer license, and just tried installing on second machine, and it says invalid license, and to check it again, which I obviously did, and same thing. I've used this product for years and years, NEVER had this happen. Any suggestions?

Thank you! It was hidden right in plain sight, lol.

I haven't downloaded a new version in a while, and am building a new computer, so wondering if it's all done with the 'Live installer' now, as opposed to just the 'old fashioned way' ? Or am I missing something?

Yep, I usually wait until the day of, for the same reason, haha. I believe it is just the product key. I think they stopped the username/password deal, I seem to remember.

Been using NOD32 since as long as I can remember, and every year, I find a good deal at Newegg, for a 3 or 5 PC program. They used to send the retail product, and I'd simply use the product key, to get my username and password, and update my program. I just did it for a 3 PC version, and it's digital now. They send you the product key, and download link. That's fine, and obviously less wasteful, but is the process still the same, as far as me going and activating that license at the ESET site, or is that product key used in the program now? My current license doesn't expire until January, that's why I ask, don't want to activate it too soon. Hope I explained that right. :) Thanks, in advance.

Just activated a license key, and got the new username and password, and CAN'T find the damn place to renew with my new username and password!!! Or did they change that too?!

You too. I may still contact NewEgg, just to be safe. It sounds like it's exactly what it appears to be, but better safe than sorry.

Yes, I checked both, thank you. I've discovered that checking NewEgg regularly, that it doesn't usually take long to get a great deal on the NOD32, or the internet security for multiple computers. I don't think ESET can ever beat NewEgg, but I don't check them very often. Amazon usually give NewEgg a run for the money, but NewEgg has some specials that are untouchable.

I didn't purchase it yet, but likely will. Just tyrying to confirm what it appears to be. I do this every year, to "renew". I watch the NewEgg newsletters, and they always eventually have a killer deal on ESET software. This one is $55 off the 79.99 price, so yeah, for 5 PCs, that's a deal. Any yes, I never care about the CD, I always get the latest version online. If this is what it seems to be, it's also lest wasteful, as the CD just ends up in the trash.

I made a typo, so I meant 5 PC, which I know means 5 computers, but I'm assuming they just send the license key, that is good for 5 computers, yes?

Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question, but when you buy a 5 PS product key card, you're just paying for the printed product key, minus the unnecessary cd, correct? Just making sure. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832114236&ignorebbr=1 Thanks!

I know the live installer had a bad reputation a long time ago....is the in-product update any better, or am I better off installing 11 right over 8?

If I do it with the intermediary updates, I save my settings, yes? If IO do a clean install of version 11, then obviously I have to configure it. All I really care about is the weekly scan. Do most people use it "right out of the box"?

Any chance I can get an answer?

No.....Windows 7. Should it be jumping to 11, or will it simply do one at a time, maybe??

And the updater in the program only mentions version 9. Or can I keep upgrading until I get to 11?

Would I do that right from the upgrade option, right in the program? The reason I ask that is, a long time ago, it was considered best to uninstall the current version first, then do a clean install. I often heard not to use the live installer too, just do the offline version. If that is still the best way, I can configure the new version, but if none of that matters like it used to, or seemed to, I'll do it through the program.

I'm still on version 8.0.319.0, and it's ok.....go ahead and laugh. Don't remember the version, but I remember you could no longer import your settings like the older version, so I've just kept blowing it off, haha. Anyway, guess it's up to 11 now, yes? That said, is it best to upgrade through the program, or do a manual upgrade, like the old days? Also....any tips, as far as configuring, or is it good "out of the box". My only concern would be setting up my weekly scan, but I'm assuming that's just as easy as ever, yes? Sorry if they seem like stupid questions, I've just been resisting the change for a while, and trying to get a heads up on the latest version. Had a couple weird things happen lately, and realized it's better to have the latest protection, as the crappy people in this world keep progressing. Thanks, in advance!

I could always uninstall 8, reinstall a fresh copy, import my settings, and then install 9 over the top. Just to be extra safe. Everything seems to have that stupid live installer, where are the offline versions? EDIT: Found em.

Ok, I did a restart, and for whatever reason, that error is gone, and I'm back to version 8. I'll install version 9 over the top!

Don't think so...but I guess the conversion process is more or less painless. https://my.eset.com/convert I'm lazy...in this case overlay is best ..........It's up to you. Now I don't know WHAT happened. I did a system restore, to go back and have version 8, but I'm getting some kind of error, saying my computer isn't protected, so I don't know what to do now.

True. It's easy enough to export my settings, and import them into the new version, "If you upgrade v8 to v9, most of the settings should be retained. Exporting the configuration from v8 and importing it to v9 is not possible due to a new configuration system." https://forum.eset.com/topic/6310-importing-settings-from-eset-8-to-9/?p=34885 So installing over the top (installing v9 over your current v8 installation) is your best bet here. Unless you want to install V9 from scratch by uninstalling V8 first. Just FYI Thanks! I just posted that I deleted the old version first, but I'm lazy, so I'm using system restore, going back, and then installing over the top.

I deleted the old version, and installed the new version, but I can't simply put in my existing username ande password, they want me to convert it to an activation key?? Would it have done that if I installed over the top, because I'll use system restore, and go back and do that, if so.
