Installation instructions for a typical office
network setup.
When you received your Enterprise Edition license email, you will have
seen the Username and Password required to access the Eset servers for
updates and there will have been a .lic key also attached (nod32.lic). This
key is specific for your RAS and determines how many clients you can
connect to your server and the expiry date of the license.
Save the nod32.lic key you received as an attachment with the email
from Eset to the desktop for the time being. (Note: do NOT use a web
based email program to download this attachment. eg: Outlook Web
Access, because this will corrupt the key).
AFTER installation is complete, you should move the nod32.lic key to
C:\Program Files\ESET\RA\Server directory and re-start the RAS
service.
Here are the basic, recommended steps to take when setting up Enterprise
Edition for NOD32:
Install Remote Administrator Server (RAS)
Using your Username and Password, download and install NOD32
Remote Administrator Server (RAS) onto your server ( http://www.
eset.com/download/balance.php?dir=/download/ra/rasrvnten.exe ).
The product must be installed on an MS Windows NT based operating
system (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003). RAS is installed by running the file
rasrvnten.exe.
During installation, the program will ask for the location of the license
key, ie: the file called nod32.lic, which contains information about its
owner, its expiry date as well as about the number of users, for which
the RAS was purchased. Alternatively, you can copy the key later into
the directory C:\Program Files\Eset\RA\Server (it is activated after
restarting the NOD32 Remote Administration Server service). Later
on, after connecting to the server from the console (RAC), Information
included in the key can be seen in Help > About NOD32 Remote
Administrator Console.
During the ‘Expert’ installation, the name of the server, under which
workstations in the network recognize it, is required. If not stated
otherwise, the server is represented using the name of the machine/
server where RAS is being installed.
Please be careful when entering the name of the server. This name
is used by nod32installer, providing remote installation of NOD32
on workstations. If RAS was not visible under this name, the remote
installation could fail.
We recommend entering the DNS name of the server.
