Root Cause Analysis

• In the Apex Central diagnostic.log, located at ...\Control Manager\WebUI\WebApp\widget\repository\log, Error code 28 can be seen:

    
  2020-01-28 14:30:45,737,DEBUG,null,null,[modOSCE IVPProxy][send_policy]URL =

• The Activation Code seen in the Ofcserver.ini file and ivp_server0.log file are different:
  • In the Ofcserver.ini file located at ...\Trend Micro\Apex One\PCCSRV\Private:

    [IVP_LICENSE_INFO]
    AC=OS-ALRN-XFCLG-XXXX-DFK9K-A7SDZ-XXXX
    

  • In the ivp_server0.log file located at ...\Trend Micro\Apex One\iServiceSrv\iVP:

    2020 01/28 14:30:47 [25d0 : 1e78] (00) (D) [iVP Handler][w3wp.exe]HandleRequest -

Based from the findings above, the timeout issue occurs because the Activation Code from Apex Central is different with the one in ofcserver.ini of Apex One.
