ESET security products such as NOD32 Antivirus and Smart Security are like one of the easiest program to use for free without buying a license or cracking it. You can request for the free trial username & password and when it expires, you can request another one. Unlike Kaspersky, once the trial has been activated and expired, the trial can never be activated the second time unless you use the illegal Kaspersky Trial Reset tool. There are also websites that offers lists of NOD32 username and password for free but with very short subscription period.

Free nod32 username and password

Last week I’ve shared with you all on how to obtain a 3 months free ESET NOD32 Antivirus username and password. Guess what, today I’ll share with you on how to get a 6 months free NOD32 username and password. The process is a little long but I think it is worth it because I am sure you get to LEARN something and also how to get a 6 months NOD32 license for free. I’ve been researching on this for the past 4 days until late night to get it right, my eyes are so tired that they are twitching all the time but I am glad that I got the steps written down to share it with you all.

1. First, you need to find a working open China proxy and set it to your web browser. Roinstrument is a good proxy server list website that lists the well-known proxy. Look for those with “cn” beside the proxy which means it is a China proxy server. Here is how you set your web browser to use the open proxy.
Internet Explorer: Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN settings > Check Use a proxy server for your LAN. Enter the proxy address and also the port.
Firefox: Go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network tab > Click Settings button > Select Manual proxy configuration and enter the proxy and port.

2. Go to http://tq.360.cn/trail-c.html. You should see a page that looks like the image below.

Enter the 4 digit code shown at the image and click the button below. You will then get a 24 digit activation code. (By clearing your browser’s cookies and cache, you can get new 24 digit activation code. Otherwise it’ll keep on generating the same 24 digit serial number) Remember to remove the proxy from your web browser once you’ve got the 24 digit activation code. The 24 digit activation code has a 5 days shelf life. If you don’t activate it within 5 days, the activation code cannot be activated anymore.

If you get a page that says “ESET NOD32防病毒360专用版半年免费试用仅面向于中国大陆地区用户，请检查您是否使用代理服务器。”, it means that the open China proxy that you’re using is not working.

3. Go to Australia’s NOD32 website to request for a 1 month trial license. Just enter your email address and hit the Submit button.

Check your email and you should receive an email from noreply@eset.sk with the suject “ESET Smart Security – Trial License”. Note down the 1 month trial ESET NOD32 Antivirus username and password.

4. Download the latest ESET NOD32 Antivirus here and install. Enter the NOD32 username and password when requested. If you’re using a 64-bit Windows operating system, you have to download this installer instead. During installation, check “Setup update parameters later” when asked to enter your ESET NOD32 username and password.

5. Now download ESET Activation Tool. This ESET Activation Tool is an official program by ESET to activate/convert the 24 digit serial number into a genuine NOD32 username and password. The problem in using the ESET Activation Tool is it verifies your IP address. If you’re not from China, you won’t be able to convert the 24 digit serial number into a usable NOD32 username and password. You will keep on getting the error message “Activation failed, please try again later. Error Code:62” when trying to activate. We couldn’t use China proxy because the tool itself doesn’t support using proxy. The solution to this problem is to use either Proxifier, ProxyCap or WideCap to tunnel the ESET Activation Tool through China proxy server. This will make the tool think that we’re in China trying to activate the 24 digit serial number.

6. Extract the downloaded ESET Activation Tool and run essact.exe. Make sure the first option “Activate with Activation Code” is selected. Enter your name, email and the 24-digit activation code. The name and email in the activation tool is not important so you can enter anything.

If you got it right, you should see the message “Activation succeed, the Expiry Date is:2009-MM-DD”

7. Now launch ESET NOD32 Antivirus, click the Setup icon on the left hand side and then click Username and Password setup. You should only see the NOD32 username with the password hidden. To view the hidden password, download Asterisk Logger. Extract, run astlog.exe and voila! the password is revealed!

Do take note that most open proxies are not stable and sometimes it’ll cause the page not to load properly or even the activation tool to work. Just keep on refreshing/trying and I am sure you will get it. The 6 months ESET username and password works on NOD32 Antivirus version 2.7, 3.0 and surely for the upcoming 4.0.

Some of you including sunkumar think that the article that I written yesterday was useless but if you do not have this knowledge, you will NEVER get to activate the 24 digit serial number to convert it to a genuine 6 months NOD32 username and password unless you ask a friend from China to do it for you or use a China VPN which costs money. Enjoy the free ESET NOD32 Antivirus username and password that will last you 6 months!
