Getting started
Protecting your business network with ESET NOD32 Antivirus is a straightforward
process that can be completed in a single afternoon for a basic installation. This
Basic Setup Guide will walk you through obtaining your ESET security software,
configuring your server computer and mirror, installing the software on client
computers and customizing clients' settings. It is meant to accompany the ESET
Remote Administrator Installation Manual and User Guide. Be sure to read the
ESET Remote Administrator Installation Manual and User Guide in its entirety
and refer to it whenever necessary throughout the installation process.
Software components
There are three separate parts to your ESET security product: the ESET NOD32
Antivirus 4 Business Edition software itself, which exists both on your server
computer and on its clients, plus the ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC)
and the ESET Remote Administrator Server (ERAS). The Console should be installed
on the computer(s) you will be using to manage your network. The Server should be
installed on your server computer. Often in small-business installations, the server
computer is the same one you use to manage your network.
Section 1: Purchasing and
downloading your software
The first step toward protecting your network is obtaining the three ESET software
components mentioned above. If you have not already purchased an ESET security
product, please visit the link below:

This guide is aimed at users installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus. Although ESET Smart
Security can be used in a network environment, the ESET Personal firewall, which
prevents unwated interactions with remote computers, can keep you from properly
managing your network. For more information about ESET Smart Security on your
network, including safe push install instructions, see the KB Connection links at the
right.
Select ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and click the Business tab. Out of the box, you may
select the 5-User Bundle, the 10-User Bundle, the 15-User Bundle, or more. All
purchases of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 Business Edition include ESET Remote
Administrator Console and ESET Remote Administrator Server.
Once you have purchased your ESET security product, you will receive an official
email from ESET containing your username and password in the body of the email
and your license file as an attachment to the email.
1.1 Username and password
Your username and password are a little different than many usernames and
passwords with which you may be familiar. They are not user-configured keys that
protect your own information. Rather, they are authentication keys that allow your
computer to interact with ESET's servers, permitting you to download your ESET
security product and later, authenticating your ESET security product to update its
Virus signature database to protect your network from evolving threats. You can't
choose or customize your username and password.
1.2 License file
Your license file — the attachment called nod32.lic — is a file that the ESET Remote
Administrator needs to manage your network of protected client computers. It
contains authentication for the number of seats (protected computers) and tells
the ESET Remote Administrator that you are entitled to protect and manage a set
number of computers, depending on the bundle you purchased. Save the license file
to your Desktop.
1.3 Getting your software
Visit the link below to ESET's Download Center to obtain your three components:

Click I have already purchased ESET software, take me to my download. Click the
Business Downloads tab and then expand the Business Users (32-bit) menu and click
the Download button beside ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4. Save the file to your Desktop to
keep things simple.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus, the ESET Remote Administrator
Server and the ESET Remote Administrator Console are
the three legs that support your malware defense system:
the antivirus software itself, the server pushing it out to
your clients and the administration console you use to
monitor the system.

your network, whether they are servers or workstations,
you will also need to download the 64-bit installer.
none of the computers on your network are 32-bit, only
