Just like in the topic?

A Smart Security (ESS) license does allow you to use NOD32 instead of ESS, but not visa-versa.

But why would one do it and get rid of Botnet protection which is often very effective against Filecoders for instance?

By the way, you don't use a username/password but a license key for activation.

Thanks for answer. I use different solution for software firewall so I don't need ESET's botnet protection.

I'm not sure if activation applies if I want to renew my license. Is there a difference when renewing and first time install?

So you have a ESS license but you want to switch to NOD32? There is a cost difference between the 2, ESS being more expensive. You'll want to contact your local distributor.

Activation is no big deal. You very well may get a new license key (I'm not sure) and/or need to re-enter your credentials.

ESET Smart Security is not just about firewall. It contains Botnet protection besides other features, such as Antispam and Anti-Theft for instance. Botnet protection is a crucial protection layer against malware but it works at the network layer. Without Botnet protection, you can get infected easier.
