How to update NOD32?

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software is about to go out of date - very frustrating.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 :-)

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.
