Reeve 0 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi, I am running Windows XP on my machine with 2 users: 1 admin and 1 user. As the user may not install any piece of software, I have installed and activated ESET Smart Security on the Admin account. When I log in as a normal user, ESET Smart Security as a 30-day trial version and prompts me to activate it again. My questions: Why do I have to activate it as a user while it has already been done by the admin? If I have to activate it as a user, will this be deducted from the number of machine licenses I am entitled to (currently 3)? Note: This is NOT a topic linked to the activation for multiple boot (i.e. different OS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hello Reeve. Hmmm...I use XP SP3 and I have never had issues like that. I install ESET while logged in as Admin, and when I login into the LUA account the ESET splash screen shows as normal and the ESET icon green -> "e" shows in the systray as usual. You must install ESET in the admin account. I guess by "user account" you mean a Limited user account (LUA) yes? And no you only need one license for both the Admin and LUA as they are user accounts on the same OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
