I have a PAW Classic using version 20180129 and the licence expires on 25/01/2020.
The intention was to apply the new licence keys and once verified everything was working as expected to then upgrade to the latest version.
I renewed the licence on 10/01/2020 and received an email with the new key with an expiry date of 24/01/2021.
On Friday, 17/01/2020 I entered the new licence key into the PAW system, saved it and rebooted the system. On reboot the Config page was showing "License Expired".
Checked that new key entered was as per the email and that the MAC address on the email was that of the PAW system. Both were correct.
Reentered the current licence key, saved and rebooted. On reboot the Index and Config pages showed "License Expires (25012020)"
Entered the new key, saved and powered down the system. After power up the Config page was showing "License Expired".
As the plane was booked for Saturday I reentered the current licence key and verified that the system was fully functional.
At home I rechecked and verified that the correct MAC address had been used when requesting the licence key renewal.
Could you please check as to whether I have made a mistake resulting in an incorrect licence key being issued and advise my next steps.
I noticed that the new expiry date is 24012021 instead of 25012021. I presume that this is due to the extra day this year and would not affect the creation of the licence keys.
I was made aware this afternoon of a problem with both a national bank and the DVLA.
A friend tried to change a direct debit to begin on 01/02/2020 but was rejected with the message "Must not be more than 50 years in the future".
I have included a link to the DVLA as it is also date related
