maneet kaur 1 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi, when creating a new task for deployment of eset, is it necessary to create only one task for all computers? I created two tasks to install ESET antivirus separately for laptops and surface users, will it consume extra licenses? because when I see the license window on dashboard the total number used is 263 and we have 250 licenses, how can that be managed since we have only about 200 users and not all of them have installed it yet Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A license (seat) is consumed only after activation which will be performed on clients just once so it won't depend on the number of install tasks. maneet kaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted April 22, 2019 ESET Staff Share Posted April 22, 2019 Most probably it will be caused by our duplication issue. Some devices, frequently changing network adapter might get duplicated entries in our licensing. Please login to EBA / ELA and check, whether you do not see multiplied entries. You can deactivate the ones that have not connected for a longer time period (shorten the interval). If you use just one type of our product (one license) you can set a dynamic group for “product not activated” and it will automatically activate any device. My recommendation would be to set it with two triggers - joined dynamic group and scheduled, for an hourly repetition (via CRON). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
