Ahhh thank you, sorry my age is showingwith this A.I. crap.
@Bot can you help me on this, can you stack ESET licenses bought from stacksocial.com?

Stacking (adding time) vs. “adding another subscription”
In general, ESET lets you add multiple subscriptions to the same ESET HOME account, but that does not automatically mean the time gets “stacked” onto one subscription.
- When you enter an activation key in ESET HOME, it is typically added as a new subscription (a separate tile), not merged into/stacked onto an existing one. ([help.eset.com](https://help.eset.com/home_eset/en-US/add_license.html?utm_source=openai))
- If your goal is to extend/renew an existing subscription’s expiration date, ESET’s documented path is to use the ESET eStore account options like “Extend” (renew). ([eset.com](https://www.eset.com/us/existing-customers/?utm_source=openai))
- If you want to combine subscriptions (what many people call “stacking”), ESET indicates this is something you generally need to handle via Sales/Partner support, and changes are time-limited (example: within 30 days of initial purchase / 90 days of renewal period). ([support.eset.com](https://support.eset.com/en/kb872-i-receive-the-error-message-serial-number-or-activation-key-already-activated-or-serial-number-exceeded-the-allowed-number-of-activations?segment=business&utm_source=openai))
What that means for StackSocial keys
- You should redeem the purchase on StackSocial within their stated window (that “redeem within 30 days” is about claiming the code from the retailer).
- After you have the activation key, you can usually hold it and activate later—but I can’t guarantee there’s no separate “activate-by” limit on that specific promo/reseller key without seeing the offer terms.
- If you add multiple keys to ESET HOME now, you should expect them to appear as separate subscriptions (like what your screenshot shows), not a single subscription with extra years added.
Safest practical approach
- Redeem the code on StackSocial now (so you don’t lose it).
- If you want coverage after your current AV expires, wait and activate/apply the ESET key closer to when you actually plan to use it.
- If your goal is one subscription extended by 2+ years, contact ESET Support/Sales and ask whether your StackSocial keys can be converted/merged into a renewal/extension for the same tier/seats—don’t assume it will “stack” automatically. ([support.eset.com](https://support.eset.com/en/kb872-i-receive-the-error-message-serial-number-or-activation-key-already-activated-or-serial-number-exceeded-the-allowed-number-of-activations?segment=business&utm_source=openai))
Conclusion: You can keep StackSocial ESET keys “on hand,” but “stacking” time onto one ESET subscription is not something to rely on via ESET HOME key entry alone; confirm with ESET support if you need a guaranteed multi-year extension path.
I kinda agree with what Bot is saying, it probably won't stack, but give you a new key, a separate key that can't be stacked on to another StackSocial one?
And I'm sure itman or Marcos will say we don't know how that would work, and cannot help if it doesn't, contact them, SS?
If you want to reply in the thread I started, it's here. I tend to not put up a fight and ticked itman's post as answered, as he replied with the disclaimer that I knew I didn't have a chance with challenging it or asking a follow-up question:

@Zero Knowledge please do not add both license. You should contact Eset support before adding the second license.
Yeah good advice, not buying another key. Just hope cheap ESET licenses will be sold on stacksocial in a years time, you never know. $12 USD is a awesome deal for ESET.
I tried Eset Premium on an Android phone (Samsing A56).
I like it, it uses very little RAM!
I installed it mainly for phishing protection.
Do you use it on the phone too?

You can NOT stack licenses within ESET, ESET does not allow this, If you add another license in HOME it will become active and will not be added to the current using one.
So i have a few unused licenses safely in my Password manager, when the one almost ends i will add a new one.

Some users confirmed that Eset support helped them merge licenses.
I think thats not true, i asked them and they firmly said NO.
I uninstalled ESET to test AVAST Ultimate and guess what, AVAST found 2 malicious files. How could they escape from ESET ?
I uninstalled ESET to see if AVAST would detect the phising/malware link in another post.
AVAST is still on my Laptop
For now let it sit there and see how it performs.

What were those missed malware?
I'm thinking of doing the opposite. From Avast to ESET. I always had app launching slowdown issue with Avast for many apps, but I thought they would be gone but realizing that it hasn't changed.
How serious were the detected files? Avast is an antivirus I've kept on my eye on. I would still consider using it in the right circumstances.
It were 2 Trojans, forgot which ones, i cleared the history.
I have no Slowdowns or whatsoever sofar with Avast.
And the licenses are dirty cheap compared to ESET.

I'm still going for the cheapest decent AV's these days, ESET is still on my other half's laptop & see no need to change it (I likely wont pay for a renewal though) but I've had McAfee (at virtually no cost licenses) with occasional delves into K on my main desk PC for months now & its been fine, cost is an ever increasing factor for people with rising prices these days so I see where you are going 
McAfee is oke, but for me too little settings i can tweak , change and starting of the main UI too long for me 40+ seconds.I'm still going for the cheapest decent AV's these days, ESET is still on my other half's laptop & see no need to change it (I likely wont pay for a renewal though) but I've had McAfee (at virtually no cost licenses) with occasional delves into K on my main desk PC for months now & its been fine, cost is an ever increasing factor for people with rising prices these days so I see where you are going
I bought 2 years AVAST Premium for 9,23 Euro. 10 devices. Asked support yesterday to merge with my old license.
