9822.0. "Licensing prevents year 2000 debugging" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Gerrit Saylor) Wed May 14 1997 17:47

I am working with a customer who's currently working on a year
2000 debugging project.  The system date needs to be set to
1999, but in doing so, dbx will no longer run because the
license becomes invalid. 

Does someone have a suggestion about how to overcome this
obstacle (forward setting the clock and yet still allowing
licensed applications to run)?

Thanks for the help,

As far as I know, normal customer PAK's don't have termination dates.
Perhaps your customer's development license is a "Temporary Service PAK"?

The customer is an ASAP member and ASAP membership development PAKS
expire yearly. Partners have to "re-up" for the ASAP program every
year and pay another $192 or $495 if they want the SDK membership.
