The Product License function allows organizations to register and license Deep Edge. Fully activating Deep Edge is a two-step process. First, register Deep Edge with Trend Micro. After registering, a valid Deep Edge Activation Code (AC) is provided to license the product.

A license to the Trend Micro software usually includes the right to product updates, pattern file updates, and basic technical support ("Maintenance") for one (1) year from the date of purchase only.

To activate Deep Edge, obtain a Registration Key during product registration. It allows administrators to obtain an activation code. Administrators can activate Deep Edge later using the Deep Edge console.
