How to update NOD32?

louise · External Since: Aug 29, 2006 Posts: 34

NOD is givfing me the message that my trial period has run
out and my old username and password are greyed out. It
will no longer update its definitions. I believe it is
about 1 year old.

So, I hit the button that says would you like to buy it and
it can't find the server; this has been going on for about
24 hours.

Should I disconnect from the net, uninstall the old NOD and
install a newly purchased copy of the new one?

Or, can I just purchase a new copy and instal it over the
old one?

This is the second time NOD has given no warning that the
software is about to go out of date - very frustrating.
Fortunately, the software is so good that it's worth the
trouble Smile

Please select your appropriate server.

or
http://www.de.nod32.ch/
http://www.nod32.de/
http://www.nod32.nl/
http://www.nod32.com.au/ (Blackspear)
etc.

You can do that, but I would just buy a new username and password.
(2 years extension ?)

There seems to be no need to do that.
Just insert the "new" user-name and password.
(at least so a "trial" version can be updated.)

Thereafter the existing NOD32 should be up and running again.

Thanks for the warning.
I have the expiration dates inserted in my on-line diary.

Glad I could help.
