How the product handles dates:
Encarta Encyclopedia does not accept user provided dates in its functionality with the following exception:
Encarta Encyclopedia owners may download monthly Yearbook and Web Link updates for a period of 18 months, July 1999 through December 2000 for Encarta Encyclopedia 2000. Encarta Encyclopedia will automatically notify the user that a new update is available by checking to see if the Yearbook is up to date based on a regular publishing schedule. (New updates are made available on the Encarta Encyclopedia web site on a specific date each month during the 18-month life of the Yearbook (the 10th for US and the 15th for World English).) In the Troubleshooting section of the Downloads feature, Encarta Encyclopedia displays the Operating System Clock date, but it does not allow the user to change the date. The date format is as follows: MMMM DD YYYY (4-digit format).
Operational ranges are as follows:
Date display: through December 31, 2099
Encarta Encyclopedia also uses a date to bring up download and upgrade reminder windows. These are based off of set dates and have been tested through December 31, 2035.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
