The issue happens because the Activation Code you used in renewing the license is the same as the old license.

To resolve the issue:

1. Navigate to \TrendMicro\OfficeScan\PCCSRV\Private folder and look for the ofcserver.ini file.
2. Stop the OfficeScan Master Service:
   1. On the Windows Server, from the Run prompt, type "services.msc" and press OK.

      This will bring up the list of Windows Services.

   2. Find the OfficeScan Master Service and right-click it, then choose "Stop".
3. Back up the ofcserver.ini file.
4. Find the following and manually remove the Activation code:

   [AV_LICENSE_INFO]
   AC=
   [DCS_LICENSE_INFO]
   AC=
   [AS_LICENSE_INFO]
   AC=

5. Open PCCRSV\Private\ofcserver.ini in a text editor and remove the following configuration values.

   From "INI_SERVICE_MODEL_SECTION" section:

   ◦ All "PR_AV*"parameters;
   ◦ "AC_AntiVirus" and "LF_AntiVirus" parameters;
   ◦ All "PR_DCS*" parameters;
   ◦ "AC_DCS" and "LF_DCS" parameters;
   ◦ All "PR_AS*"parameters;
   ◦ "AC_AntiSpyware" and "LF_AntiSpyware" parameters;

6. Start the OfficeScan Master Service:

      This will bring up the list of Windows Services.
