Tom123 0 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hey, We're getting an error on every machine with ESET installed of "ESET Dynamic Threat Defense is not activated or licence is invalid" To my knowledge, we do not have a licence for Dynamic Threat Defense, however I cannot find how to disable this from being picked up. I am relatively new to the ESET console, so as much help as possible would be appreciated! Cheers, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,392 Posted June 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2020 If you don't have a license for EDTD, don't enable it. However, we strongly recommend purchasing EDTD which will improve overall protection and detection of new malware, including ransomware. For how many machines your ESET license is? Currently we offer EDTD for users with more than 250 seats but this is gonna change soon and even small offices will be able to purchase the service.

Hey, how do i go to "disable" it, as I can't find it anywhere..? We currently have 230 assigned licences, I will have a chat with the director to see what we actually have and his thoughts, I appreciate the reply. EDIT: These are the licences on the business account section Edited June 25, 2020 by Tom123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelK 0 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Hi, you need to enable "Live Grid Feedback System" policy in ESMC (under Cloud-based protection) to make this setting visible. You can see in ESMC that Dynamic Threat Defense Setting is greyed out until you enable live grid feedback. As long as it is greyed out, it is not visible in client UI. Chances are, that someone enabled grid feedback, then was able to enable threat defense and disabled grid feedback afterwards. Then threat defense would be in a state that you posted and could not be changed anymore until grid feeback system is enabled again. Don´t know if this is a bug or a feature 🙂 Edited June 25, 2020 by MichaelK Forgot a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MichalJ 434 Posted June 25, 2020 ESET Staff Share Posted June 25, 2020 On the screenshot in the original post, the Live Grid Feedback is enabled, and "locked from editing" meaning it is set via policy. What is needed, is to disable that particular setting in the policy assigned to your clients, and then the alert should go away. You can also disable that particular alert via user interface section of the policy, in the list of the application statuses that should be shown on the client computers, and sent to the ESMC server. That would resolve your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can goto advanced setup on client machines and it's greyed out, I can also find it on the server and it's enabled and disabling it doesnt show anything else it just greys out the beneath items which we want enabled.. I cannot find any policy editor on the security management centre, unless I'm being blind? 15 minutes ago, MichalJ said: On the screenshot in the original post, the Live Grid Feedback is enabled, and "locked from editing" meaning it is set via policy.

Plus I dont see the Dynamic Threat defense either way.. Thanks for all the help so far EDIT: I believe I have found it.. but dynamic tread defense is disabled anyway??

Administrators Marcos 5,392 Posted June 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2020 For EDTD you must have a separate license if it's not already included in the pack you have purchased: If you don't have an EDTD license yet, we could provide you with a trial one. Otherwise we recommend enabling the LiveGrid Feedback system and disable EDTD in a policy that is applied on clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
