If you've landed on this page, your version of Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac has likely reached End of Support. Don't worry — if your subscription is still active, you can upgrade to the latest version for free and get right back to a fully protected Mac.
This article explains what End of Life and End of Support mean, what to do next, and which versions are affected.
End of Life vs. End of Support: What's the Difference?
These two terms sound similar, but they mean different things:
- End of Life (EOL): The date Trend Micro stops selling or distributing a specific version. After this date, that version is considered outdated.
- End of Support (EOS): The date Trend Micro stops releasing updates, patches, and technical support for that version. After this date, your Mac won't receive new virus definitions, security fixes, or help from Trend Micro Support.
🔔 Important Note: Once your version reaches EOS, your Mac is no longer protected against new threats. We strongly recommend upgrading right away.
What You Should Do Next
If your subscription is still active, upgrading is free and only takes a few minutes:
- Confirm your subscription is active by signing in to your Trend Micro Account.
- Check that your Mac meets the current system requirements.
- Download and install the latest version of Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac.
- Sign in with your Trend Micro Account or enter your serial number to activate.
If your installation completes and the main console shows Protected, you're all set! ✅
