Your Welcome and I never consider any reply to a question a "Waste of Time " if the result is favorable to the questioner! The Trial license as far as I know has always been Two Months/60days(And I have been here since the Beginning of the licenses and since the origins of this Forum in 2014 and FORScan since just after launch in 2011)!
I do not ever remember seeing an error message alerting to the licence expiry whether Trial Or Paid unless I opened the Wheel Icon and looked(I mostly use Paid now and will have to use the Current workaround through Ayim Kutit in March when my current Paid license expires)!
I usually get reminded when attempting a process that requires a license!
I am getting old too(73 in April and retired since 2017) and have probably tried to bend too many Tractor draw-bars with my shins and have too many bumps on my skull from combine straw-walkers(Worked many years in Agricultural repair work)!
Hi tractmec, hope you're going well mate.
I agree with you that a reply to a question is never a "Waste of Time" if we are able to help!
I've seen you say a few times that you're getting old & have a few battle scars. I reckon you'd have a lot fo good stories to tell.
Just letting you know that I really appreciate your very regular responses. We are able to learn a lot from a man with your experience.

Hi, I recently bought '16 Mustang GT and trying do program/add spare keys/pilots. I'm from Poland and i'm aware of geo-blocking. So - with help of VPN i succesfully landed in Moscow.
Now. When I want to program my PATS module - it requires internet access and trying to connect to FORScan server but this operation have failes - server is not responding.
I don't ask for advice how to setup connection from my country to Russia (maby other than - if you know that some country does not have limitations and know that connections with FORScan serwer via this country works).
My main question is this: Is FORScan serwer for PATS work at this time ?

Could this be causing Google Chrome to show a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access anything associated with Forscan? I'm in the United states by the way.
Microsoft Edge still allows access.

It appears to depend on what browser is being used. Not working on Brave which is usually really good but works with Zen browser

Hello everyone on the forum. For the past few days, the forscan.org server has been blocking access for PC browsers based on the Chromium engine (Chrome, Brave). Edge, Opera, and Firefox browsers work correctly. There are no such issues on Android. IMHO, this is related to hiding some topics on the forum and changing the way of accessing and registering on the forum. I hope the forum administrators will fix it.

It looks like there may now be a fix. I'm no longer having problems
