Configure an ESET PROTECT Ultimate security entitlement with a prorated custom term instead of treating it as a physical appliance. The custom-term designation matters where subscription timing needs to be set for a defined period rather than selected as a standard duration. It suits environments where the subscription term must align with a chosen calendar interval. Its purpose is licensing configuration for the ESET PROTECT Ultimate offering. EPUL-NC represents the custom-term, prorated form of ESET PROTECT Ultimate. It identifies the entitlement configuration used when the required coverage period is not expressed as a conventional fixed term. Treat the term and proration as the principal selection criteria; endpoint count, dates, and included security components are determined by the associated subscription configuration. This distinction keeps the selected entitlement aligned with the required coverage schedule. The SKU does not describe an appliance, interface, cable, or installation accessory. It applies to the ESET PROTECT Ultimate security software offering and should be evaluated as a subscription entitlement. Match the required term configuration to the applicable ESET PROTECT Ultimate environment and ensure its custom proration aligns with the intended coverage period. The product’s defining characteristics are the Ultimate offering designation, custom term, and prorated structure.
