Sense with F-S Total when subscription ends

martink

I have Total subscription and recently got an offer to buy Sense to be used with the Total subscription.

Will any of the functionality of Sense remain when the Total subscription ends?

I assume the I can buy extension to the subscription and then Sense will function as before.

If I buy a new Total license can that particular Sense be attached to the new license or in general can a Sense unit be switched from one Total Subscription to another?

Hi @martink

F-Secure SENSE protection can be merged with your F-Secure TOTAL subscription but once done, the SENSE protection validity will run concurrently with the TOTAL subscription.

For now, SENSE protection is till free until foreseeable future so you might want to consider running it separately.

However, if you want to merge your SENSE with your TOTAL subscription, that can be done by our support.

Hi @martink

Once F-Secure TOTAL subscription expires, everything comes to a halt: F-Secure SAFE antivirus stops working, Freedome VPN no longer connects and your traffic is unencrypted. SENSE security is no longer active so it functions as a normal router.

If you have another TOTAL subscription, maybe under a separate email or another family member's name, and you would like to move your SENSE to that subscription, our support can help with that but SENSE cannot function as a standalone especially after it has been merged.

Thank you for your reply.

I was thinking of this: Special offer: SENSE security router

The email says

Order the SENSE router in My F‑Secure to get your discount. After the purchase, this home protection continues to be part of your TOTAL subscription with no additional costs.

That sounds like it will be automatically added to the TOTAL subscription.

Can it be taken off the subscription and used separately or moved to another Total subscription?

Hi @martink

For this promotion, SENSE router will be part of you TOTAL subscription if you order through My F-Secure.

You will not be able to separate them but SENSE security will be active so far your TOTAL subscription is active.

Thank you for response.

That clears how it works while the TOTAL subscription is active.

I am still wondering what works when the Totals subscription for one reason or another is no longer active.

Does it function as a router, can it be associated with another subscription; can I buy protection for it etc?

Thanks

That was the answer I was after.
