PC cillin 2002 license key problem

domealey@netscape.net
Has anyone been having trouble obtaining their license key from Trend Micro so they can receive updated virus definitions? When I try it says my internet connection is to unstable at this time, try back later. Finally got a response from their email tech support telling me to keep trying back. Their quote "This message is caused by the updates we perform on our servers. Please try to register at a later date. I am afraid I cannot email you a license key because the license key is generated from a web server gathering information from your computer. So on and so on and so on then I apologize for the inconvenience. Anyway I have been trying for 5 and 1/2 days to get these updates. I loved PC cillin 2000. Never a problem with it. This seems to be to much of a hassle and maybe I should look for another anti virus program

 

Here is the work around until their registering servers are up and running again which I could not get a time line.

I would like to apologize regarding the error that you are experiencing right now on registration. There is no problem with your program, the problem is on our registration server, it is currently down being updated.

As a work around, Here is the procedure in updating your pattern files manually. This is the site where in you can get the latest updates and scan engines of PC-cillin2000.

Click on it to download to your computer.
Extract it to a folder SOURCE (you must create this) in your PC-cillin2000 folder.
After extracting the file, click on tmupdito.exe.
Restart your computer.

WE SHALL INFORM YOU THROUGH E-MAIL IF THE REGISTRATION SERVER IS ALREADY UP AND RUNNING.

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
