When
you purchase
ScanMail,
you receive a Registration Key with your product package or from
your
Trend Micro reseller.
Registering
ScanMail entitles
you to standard support that consists of pattern file updates, product version
upgrades, and telephone and online technical support. The length
of the maintenance agreement depends on the contract you arrange
with your
Trend Micro representative,
but is usually 12 months.
You need to register and activate ScanMail to enable
pattern file and scan engine updates (use either an Activation Code,
or an annual one). Even if you are already using an evaluation copy
of the product, and activated the product using an evaluation-version
Activation Code.
