Issue

  • You want to install ESET Server Security for Linux, ESET Gateway Security for Linux, or ESET Mail Security for Linux
  • The current version of ESET Mail/Gateway Security for Linux available for download: 4.5.15.0
  • The current version of ESET Server Security for Linux available for download: 8.1.565.0

Solution

After purchasing or renewing a license for ESET server solutions for Linux (ESET Mail Security, ESET Server Security, or ESET Gateway Security), you will receive an email containing your ESET-issued Username, Password, and License Key. To download, unpack, install and configure your ESET server solution, follow the steps below:

  1. Download the installation package for your ESET server solution:
  2. Use the following command to run the installation package from the shell (replace packagename with the name of the ESET installation package you downloaded in step 1):
    sh ./packagename
    
  3. To configure your ESET server solution, edit esets.cfg, verifying that your ESET-issued Username and Password are entered correctly when you do so. Click one of the links below for your ESET server solution manual, with complete instructions on configuring esets.cfg:
Version 8.x users

Step 3 does not apply to version 8.x users. Proceed to step 4.

  1. Import your ESET license (not the one labeled ERA) file using the following string of commands:
sudo /opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_lic --list
sudo /opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_lic --import nod32.lic
sudo /opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_lic --list

The last command will return your license information. For example:

/etc/opt/eset/esets/license/esets_5ee573.lic: ESET Mail Security, 2015-01-02 01:00:00, ESET
/etc/opt/eset/esets/license/esets_e805ec.lic: ESET Gateway Security, 2015-01-02 01:00:00, ESET
/etc/opt/eset/esets/license/esets_a905cf.lic: ESET Server Security, 2015-01-02 01:00:00, ESET
  1. Start the ESETS service (daemon) using the following command:
Version 8.x users

Steps 5 and 6 do not apply to version 8.x users. Visit our online help topic for information on installation for ESSL 8.x.

/etc/init.d/esets start
  1. Verify esets_daemon is running properly from the shell ps, using the following command (the specific parameters may vary depending on your operating system):

    Linux OS:

    ps -C esets_daemon

    BSD OS:

ps aux | grep esets

{“mode”:”full”,”isActive”:false}
