Yes, all three activate at the same time. Usually I'll run one PC in trial mode if I know I won't be able to get it installed on the others until a little later.
Redhat is correct. The one year license period starts for all 3 licenses when you activate the first one. In other words, if you get the 3 license deal and put it on one computer by itself then wait 6 months to put it on another computer, the second PC will have ESET for only 6 months.
What I did was start with the 30 day free trial that is available on the ESET web site, then ordered the 3 pc one year disc from New Egg. I put the free trial on my pc and my wife's laptop and waited until we had just a few days left on the free trial and then all I had to do was update the free versions with my paid license key. I did not even have to run the disc on either machine. We got a few extra weeks' worth of ESET for free that way. The free trial is also a great way to be sure the program is compatible with your computer and you like the program.
IMHO ESET is great, it is the very best of the paid AV's. It is so light on resources I don't even know it is there.
