You can user your license on up to 5 machines. In order to use it on 200 PCs, you'd need to extend the license to that number of machines. I recall that a 5-user ESET PROTECT Entry allows installation on 1 file server for which you get a separate license with the ESET PROTECT Entry bundle.

To my best knowledge you can add an offline license key to the ESET PROTECT license manager and select it when creating an All-in-One installer. You can also set up the update server to point to your local mirror, however, we prefer using an http proxy if the machines have access to a machine connected to the Internet.

You are supposed to use your license in accordance with EULA.

@akram1987 Technically it can theoretically work. However, there are various methods to discover such behavior  as it is violating the terms of the license agreement, and is basically equal to theft. You are eligible to use the software on that many computers, as you have purchased it for. 

So to answer your question:

1. You can use that many endpoints as your license is issued for = 5 in your case.
2. No, it is not legal.
