What is this new feature:

Antivirus

• Improvements in license expiry and renewal scenarios

Is it something for Users? It would be useful to see licence information (expiry dates etc).

Hello,

 

Sorry for my reply.

 

Probably it's just about potential steps and situations, when license can be expired or re-get license... and how it goes.... and how it looks... and etc. For prevent random situations during strange background/settings.

 

But anyway.... it was already with previous TP (and now too) after re-check simply steps around license expired/renewal... you able to get expiry date on current time (such as... information, which probalby not a secret).

But the problem is , I can't see anything connected with licence information anywhere (unlike the old versions).

Hello,

You can not to see it on current time (probably.. which can be "as design" and maybe should be under FS Portal in future).... but I mean...

 

You can to try re-check situation with expired-license/renewal-process (like check.. if current processes work correctly)... and with that steps... with current TP (and with previous TPs) you able to get information date (which can be workarounds). Such as... expired can be with various meanings and variants, but probably here just one variant to get "expired" dialog on current time with default settings.

 

But... anyway if you talk just about "current time" of using... potentially here can be answer already (without additional workarounds for get certain date-time):

Such as description for "benefits". And probably it's related with all active licenses, which able to using by FS Protection users.

 

And probably if you just think about potential "random expired". Maybe changes can to comes after some time... where already will be default mechanism for understanding... certain known date of expire licenses for users.

I updated my Windows 7 last week, but have only just got around to doing my Windows 8.1 laptop.  Both upgrades went smoothly, as usual.  As above, I've not noticed anything 'new' regarding licenses, but I do like the 'bouncing' Banking Protection banner and popup alerts on Windows 8.1.
