I've just updated to Big Sur (iOS 11.0.1) on my Mac. Trend Micro informed me via a pop-up that I need to update to the latest version of the software to support the new OS. I uninstalled the old version (Trend Micro Antivirus 10.0.1686), reinstalled the new version (Trend Micro Antivirus 11.0.1924) with all the correct downloads (trust me, I checked MANY TIMES). Each time I try to activate the latest version, it tells me my serial number is invalid. I understand, as the 10.0.1686 version is Trend Micro 2020, which is what my license is for. But if Trend tells me I MUST update, offers me a free update (per the pop-up I received) but then tells me my serial number is invalid... well, that's a problem. I have tried this many different ways and after a few hours of uninstalling/downloading/googling... I'm done.
Who can tell Trend Micro that my 2020 serial number should work for the 2021 version, which is the only version compatible with my updated system and is apparently a free upgrade, per your pop up? For now, I remain unprotected, which really stinks since I pay for this protection.

ha! That's too funny. Even though the installer download on the "Trend Micro Security bought from Best Buy" link is the same version that I've downloaded and tried probably 10x now from other pages (11.0.1924)... that one worked with my serial number!!!! It's a miracle! I cannot thank you enough... especially for the quick response. TY TY TY
