Activation Start

DAF33

Newby question:

When does the product (SAFE) term start?

On purchase or installation?

Simon

Welcome!

 

The subscription term starts from when the license is activated.

Thank you, Simon!

Coming from other AV's where you get a license key on purchase, I got a little confused with F-Secure's way of doing things.

Looking forward to great protection!

Hello,

 

Sorry for my reply. I'm only an F-Secure user (their home solutions).

 

I think that such design of doing things is only valid for packages like F-Secure SAFE or F-Secure TOTAL; where "My F-Secure Account"-portal in use (with abilities to handle some subscription/licence-based things) and where subscription time (valid for all licences) is visible; when code is redeemed/activated - SAFE subscription is started. I think that, usually, activation can be with 'purchase'-flow (but most likely that not always).

 

But, for example, with F-Secure Internet Security -> licence is activated during installation (so, possible to purchase subscription-code and activate it later). As with most other solutions(?) and traditional design.

 

Thanks!
