Activating ScanMail

The following conditions require activation.

• Installing ScanMail for the first time

For example, when you purchase the standard or suite version from a Trend Micro reseller and use the registration key to obtain an AC.

• Changing from an evaluation version to a full version, or changing to a Suite version from a Standard version.

For example, when you obtain a new AC from a Trend Micro representative and want to use the product console to activate your new version.

• Note: The evaluation version is fully functional for 30 days, after which ScanMail tasks will continue to run, but no security risk scan, message filtering, or component update will occur.

You can activate ScanMail during installation or using the product console.

To activate ScanMail during installation:

1. Run the installation program.

2. Type the AC in the Product Activation screen.

3. Complete the installation to activate ScanMail.

To activate ScanMail after installation using the product console:

1. Click Administration > Product License.

3. Click New activation code from the Product License screen.

4. Type your activation code in the space provided.
