What is the issue regarding January 1 2010? Why do I need to upgrade older versions before that date?
If you are using older versions of Bardon software, you should upgrade before the end of 2009. For most of you this will be a free upgrade under your Maintenance Plan subscription. Why? Many years ago we began including a date/time “sanity check” with all of Bardon’s software, because we noticed a number of programs that would go haywire if the system date was maliciously set into the far future. To prevent this, if the system date was set in the far future, our software set it back to a reasonable date. That “far future” trigger date was January 1 2010. When older versions of our software see that as the system date, they will change it. So if you are using older versions, you will want to upgrade to the current release. The relevant versions are WinU 4.x and 5.x Full Control 1.x and 2.x Full Control Internet 1.x Some versions of WinU 6 and Full Control 3 are also included. If you aren’t sure whether your version is included, or just want to check, feel free to contact us to ask.
