If you’re on an annual software maintenance contract with a supplier such as Trend Micro then you’re already covered when it comes to updates to your software version.
Most maintenance contracts are renewable annually. We monitor your subscriptions and automatically contact you when they are due and provide a quote for the annual renewal. Renewals entitle you to download the latest version of the software available during the term of your subscription. For example, an anti-virus update will provide you with the highest level of virus protection available.
During the term of your maintenance contract you may also be eligible for upgrades.
