A license to 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. After the first year, Maintenance must be renewed on an annual basis at Trend Micro's then-current Maintenance fees.
A Maintenance Agreement is a contract between your organization and Trend Micro, regarding your right to receive technical support and product updates in consideration for the payment of applicable fees. When you purchase a Trend Micro product, the License Agreement you receive with the product describes the terms of the Maintenance Agreement for that product.
The License Agreement will remain valid until the period specified in the agreement. However, your Maintenance Agreement expires after one (1) year from the date of purchase. If the Maintenance Agreement expires, you will not be able to update components or program files (even manually). Nor will you be entitled to receive technical support from Trend Micro. Refer to the Administrator's Guide for the third-party software license information.
You can update your Maintenance Agreement by purchasing renewal maintenance from your reseller, Trend Micro sales, or on the Trend Micro Online Registration URL:
