Troubleshooting

If you cannot add a license in ESET PROTECT, the cause might be related to the proxy settings on your ESET PROTECT Server. To troubleshoot this issue, follow the steps below: 

1. Open ESET PROTECT Web Console in your web browser and log in.

2. Click More → Server Settings.

3. Expand Advanced Settings and click the slider bar next to Use proxy server to disable it. Click Save.
   
   

4. Try to add the license again.

If you are not successful, it can indicate a problem with your proxy settings. See the following Knowledgebase resources for further assistance:
