Seems that it's the standard procedure for the migration to v. 5.

Thanks, that answers my question.
I guess it's not my turn yet.
I updated yesterday... Still version 4.
Checked for updates moments ago... No updates available.

Considering the other replies to my question, I'm not going to rush it.

Thanks for the feedback, perhaps there are other reasons not to rush into it.

I know my license is still good, but I keep seeing words like ..
Quote...we are working on improving support for some non-standard licensing use cases before rolling out to a wider audience.
and wondered if that applied to me.

I am currently running 4 lifetime licenses on Windows 7 computers. On Friday, version 5 was downloaded, not by me, to one of the computers. I have one computer running v 5 and the other three running v 4. Since I don't care for the interface on v 5 because I see no way to schedule a scan, I'm in no hurry to manually update the 3 other computers. From reading in the past, I seem to recall that v 4 will be supported until sometime in August. I will wait for the update to be fed to me.

Hi Pete

Existing lifetime licenses are still valid.

I have not upgraded to version 5 because I am not happy with the interface as yet. Hopefully they will listen and allow us that do not need their VPN to remove that from the main page.

Version 4 is still very effective.

Hope this helps

Mike

Is a "lifetime license" considered non-standard?
I've been led to believe they're not offered anymore.

I've been hesitating to install version 5 manually because my computer might not be ready until the version 4 updates finish enabling migration.

 Thanks Corrine, that looks like something I don't need.
