We have converted our data and applications to accomodate 8 digit dates.
We tested with Time Machine and Time Shift and everything is performing
normally. Our customer has asked us to perform a 'real' simulation by
booting the system with a date in the year 2000 and then testing system and
application software. Has anyone done this before? I know we have to be
concerned with software licensing since some of the software licenses
require annual renewal. Are there issues we need to be concerned with when
we roll back the system to the current date. Does anyone have a project
plan with which they have done this? We plan on taking an entire weekend
to roll forward, test and then roll back. Is this enough time? Thanks in
advance for anyone's help.
