python
import requests
def activate_eset_license(license_key):
url = "https://api.eset.com/activate"
payload = {
"license_key": license_key,
# Additional parameters if required
}
try:
response = requests.post(url, data=payload)
if response.status_code == 200:
return "ESET activation successful!"
else:
return "ESET activation failed. Error: " + response.text
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
return "ESET activation failed. Error: " + str(e)
# Example usage
license_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" # Replace with your actual license key
activation_result = activate_eset_license(license_key)
print(activation_result)
Please note that this code snippet assumes you have a valid ESET license key and a working API endpoint to activate the license. You would need to replace `”XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”` with your actual license key, and ensure that the API endpoint (`https://api.eset.com/activate`) is correct.
