Q.
After a very peaceful holiday vacation, I had a strange thing occur when I arrived back to work on January 6th. My Novell BorderManager software was telling me that its license had expired! I am running Novell BorderManager v3.7. Why would this license expire and what can I do about it?

Dear Expiring: Novell creates many different licensing schemes for its products. Some licenses are designed to expire after 90 days, some after a year, and some never to expire. Somehow (nobody at Novell is admitting as to how), one of these expiring licenses was shipped with Novell BorderManager v3.7.
This has been corrected in the latest shipping version. However, it looks like you have not upgraded yet. You can obtain a new, non-expiring license, through your Novell Channel Partner or by calling Novell. By-the-way, you should have received instructions from Novell if you provided your e-mail address when you registered the product.
