Update_Overview

Update Overview

All component updates originate from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server. When updates are available, the Trend Micro Security server downloads the updated components.

You can configure the Trend Micro Security server to update from a source other than the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server. To do this, you need to set up a custom update source. For assistance in setting up this update source, contact your support provider.

The following table describes the different component update options for the Trend Micro Security server and clients:
