The License Renewal Tool allows administrators to update the Endpoint Encryption license in an environment managed entirely by PolicyServer MMC.
Note
Note
If you manage Endpoint Encryption from Control Manager, use the license management options available in Control Manager. For more information, see the Control Manager documentation:
http://docs.trendmicro.com/en-us/enterprise/control-manager.aspx
If your Activation Code is for a new license of Endpoint Encryption or a renewal of your license, the endpoint requires a connection to the Endpoint Encryption database, but does not require Internet access. If your Activation Code is for an extension of an existing license, the endpoint requires Internet access.

Procedure

  1. Obtain your Activation Code from your Trend Micro service representative.
    If you have a Registration Key, go to Customer Licensing Portal to register your product. Trend Micro will email your Activation Code after product registration. Access the Customer Licensing Portal at:
    https://clp.trendmicro.com/
  2. Copy, download, or locate a PolicyServer installation package on the endpoint you have installed PolicyServer on.
    To download the PolicyServer installation package or the Endpoint Encryption Suite, go to the Trend Micro Download Center:
    http://downloadcenter.trendmicro.com/
  3. Go to <PolicyServer Directory>\TMEE_PolicyServer\Tools\TMEE_LicenseRenewal.
  4. Run the file TMEE_LicenseRenewal.exe as an administrator.
    The License Renewal Tool screen opens.
  5. Type your Activation Code in the New Activation Code field and click Activate.
    Your license activates and all functions of Endpoint Encryption become available.

    Note
    After attempting to extend a license, you may encounter an error stating that your Activation Code has expired. To resolve this issue, see Troubleshooting License Extension.

This error may occur due to a mismatch of your system registry with a proxy server in your network. Perform the following procedure to validate this potential cause and resolve this issue.

Procedure

  1. Run Diagnostic Monitor on the same endpoint as the License Renewal Tool.
    For more information regarding the Diagnostic Monitor, see Using the Diagnostics Monitor.
  2. View events near the time that you attempted to run the License Renewal Tool for the following events in the Message column:
