Finally, Nod32 tells us when our subscription expires. A very useful feature. Thanks Eset.

??? It's not that bad. If you have a specific gripe you should state it rather than leave blank threats with the pocketbook (well, unless you have and you are frustrated).

It's been stated here that the license details will be displayed as soon as the database is filled with users' data.

Which database and with what data? Can someone inform a retard?

My guess is that they are creating a database with customer's personal information which includes expiration date.

Yes , that was announced before . V3 will not only connect to update servers but to another(s) which contain database with clients' data . If there is data available for the license , v3 will show it . If there isn't data , it will show nothing . They are currently supposed to be working on entering the data's (but there is much info to enter , you know 25+ millions clients) :thumb:

No that is a 13th day which the correct easier way to display it. Mine expires on 12/14/2008 the US way not 14/12/2008 which is the ~Snip~ way that Europe and other ~Snip~ country's shows their dates. But anyway I am glad that it shows the expiration date because last year I had to extended a couple of weeks and I am glad it now shows those couple of weeks.

The date is displayed as per your 'Regional and language options' configured within your 'Control panel.' Check the following image for confirmation (my personal configuration = YYYY-MM-DD):

May I object that the only two logical ways to represent a date are those in chronological order: our ~Snip~ way 14/12/2008 or the even greater ISO 8601 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) 2008-12-14
I have worked with US providers on studies spanning several years, where dates are very important, and that mix of representations is just too messy. That ISO standard was a life saver. It's no surprise that Eset chose the abbreviated ISO 8601 time stamp for the signature databases: anyone in the world can understand it...
http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/3456/datenq9.jpg

To stay on topic, "License Valid until" is dependent on Windows' regional settings, and it changes (in EAV's window) somewhere between 1-7 seconds if those are modified. Pretty neat. :thumb:

Edit: not fast enough... anyway, excellent choice of format NodboN!

Nice to bump into someone at the same wave-length - it's an unusual format the two of us share albeit very convenient. :thumb:

I’m in the automotive business and work with suppliers and customers from all over the world. I learned real fast that not everyone reads dates the same way. The format I use is 31DE07 (NodboN’s expiration date) at work but I don’t think this is an option with Nod32.

I hope you meant 31DEC07, because comes March... 31MA08 might as well be MAY ;)
As for Nod32, it displays that short date according to your regional settings in the control panel. The closest I could get was 31dec.07 with "ddMMMyy". In fact you can see that it takes about 5 seconds to EAV to apply changes in its own window... :thumb:

The expiration date doesn't appear on his screen shots. The box is where the expiration date SHOULD appear.
By the way, my expiration date is not appearing either.

Well, mine is still missing. Good thing I made copies of the emails when I purchased the licenses. Maybe in another year they will have it enabled again. But I am not holding my breath.

Hmm, strange. I have a one year license for the Vista computer. It is missing from the Gui. I have a two year license for the XP computer, it is back. Go figure.

The standard for month abbreviation is 2 digits. The abbreviation for March is MR and May is MY. I like this format but not everyone knows the correct abbreviations which can cause problems.

Well, I can sympathize with all the people who are having problems with V3, but instead of constantly whining, there are at least two other alternatives. Go back to 2.7 until V 3 meets your qualifications or try another av.
My posts about the date expiration thingy, were meant to be lighthearted and good natured at least. :)

A simple fix for the in and out exp. date would be to write "My Eset exp. date is mm/dd/yy" on a piece of paper and put it with your other computer stuff. Then when you think it might be expiring soon, go check your piece of paper.;D

Hiker, you're probably right about the expiration date - actually, I was not referring to that at all. I meant despite the license showing validity upto 31st December 2007, the program was displaying the User name and Password as invalid and consequently not updating the Virus Signatures. :D
