You can trial this software for 89.77 years

More Adobe fail, this product is actually properly licensed but something went sideways and now it is showing it is unlicensed. Thankfully, I have almost 90 years to sort it out. I will put this in the perpetual bottom of the to-do list.

Sure as shit, I click on the Start Trial option and:
I am going to see how this works out.
-
That's an oddly specific number of days...
Edit: Wait, why is this only just now appearing in my Unread?
-
@Tsaukpaetra It was flagged for a category move, maybe you had the old category muted?
-

No such thing. Maybe you meant "Unwatched"?
-
@Yamikuronue Thanks for moving it. I forgot to select a category so it was dumped in the default one.

Yes, and I would love to know how they got an overflow on that one...
-
@Polygeekery said in You can trial this software for 89.77 years:
overflow
*underflow? Since I think it's flipping over from negative to positive?
-
@sloosecannon Maybe...but it seems like any negative would just trigger the trial to be over? It is not just a display error, or else the software would cease to work.

Adobe has never been good at math

The free/trial versions of Delphi used to do something similar. Beyond a certain point, expiration becomes somebody else's problem.

32767 = 0x7FFF
I don't know what it means, but I bet it means something.

I'll take your word for it.
-
@El_Heffe One less than -32768.

@Polygeekery For anyone wondering, it is still working and not complaining about licensing. I could sort it out, and do it proper, but fuck them. They wrote the code that did this. I am going to roll with it.

Considering it hasn't been 90 years....
-
@Tsaukpaetra Yeah, but I expected it to fix itself at some point. I figured my screenshot was a fluke.
I was wrong.

Well at least it's consistent. Who knows? Maybe the only difference between a trial and a full license is the expiration date, and you got hit with an off-by-one error that broke the Apps expectations! 🆓
-
@Tsaukpaetra Maybe they couldn't be bothered putting in separate code paths, and just said "eh, if you buy a full license we'll set it to MAX_SHORTINT days and if it's a problem for you after that you can call customer service."
