Now pictures this childish situation. Dirtylinen will post later on that he is successful and it works like advertised. I am going to call one of my customer today and tell him that tonight, I will drive down there and shutdown his server (would not do that right now but this is a demo of how it would go). I will install nis2009 and press liveupdate every few minutes and stay there until I get it the patch because said patch is only available through liveupdate. In the event the magic patch does not arrive that night, I will advise him that tomorrow morning, his employees cannot use their computers to access the data on the server and to spend the day playing games and that I would have to go back the following night to try again. Can people understand through this little story that somebody in my situation or an IT person cannot crapshoot something like this. What is needed first is to test the patch, next to have the patch on a USB stick and then you are in a position to deploy. Now, my American counterparts are lucky, eventually, soon I hope, they will be able to get this said patch through the Trial Download. In my case, I will then be able to do the English portion and log Symantec in France to get the French update. Problem is though; the trial version being offered in France is not identified by version number. Am I being childish or down to earth? Originally in November, I have been told that a test patch would be sent to me, not the case now. Romi
