This topic describes how to install F-Secure ID PROTECTION on your Android device if you have an F-Secure TOTAL subscription.
With F-Secure TOTAL, the number of ID PROTECTION licenses and monitored items is determined by your TOTAL subscription. For example, if you have a 5-device subscription, you can have ID PROTECTION on five devices with up to 10 email addresses monitored.
Tip: With the TOTAL subscription, you can also install and access F-Secure ID PROTECTION directly from the F-Secure SAFE app. For more information, see Accessing ID PROTECTION from SAFE.
