What Happens To My Subscription If I Cancel My Auto-Renewal Plan?
You'll still get the service for the time you've already paid for. For monthly subscriptions, cancelling means it won't renew next month, but you'll keep the service until then. For annual subscriptions, cancelling means it won't renew next year, but you'll keep the service for the rest of the current year.
Why Charged for a Higher Price?
The price difference is due to online prices depending on current promotions, while your account is on an automatic renewal plan. Automatic renewals get a 10-15% discount, but online renewal prices can change based on available promotions.
Note: Auto-renewal email notifications will be sent to the email address in your billing information.
Why was I charged after canceling auto-renewal?
Here are some reasons why you might still be charged after canceling your auto-renewal:
- If you canceled close to the renewal date, it might not have processed in time.
- If you didn’t get a confirmation email, your cancellation might not have been successful.
- Check if you have multiple accounts or subscriptions — you may have canceled the wrong one.
- A technical issue could have prevented the cancellation from processing correctly.
To make sure your auto-renewal is canceled:
- Check for confirmation emails about the cancellation.
- Log in to your Trend Micro account to verify your subscription status.
- Contact Trend Micro support with your account details for help or a possible refund.
Why am I still being asked for billing information after paying successfully?
Trend Micro will ask for your billing information to set up your subscription with Auto Renewal, so you won’t have to worry about renewing it every year.
NOTE: If you don’t want to provide your billing information to set up the Auto Renewal, you can simply close the window.
Do I need to Re-install after Auto-Renewal?
If Trend Micro program is already installed after renewal, you don’t need to reinstall. Your subscription will be extended automatically—just ensure it’s up to date.
