System date set in advance

[Reflective Blinds 0]

The system date was set in advance. Eset now shows a last update date in the future and does not run any updates. How do I reset the last update date in Eset Smart Security?

An incorrect date should not affect updates. Does switching to the pre-release update channel and back help?

Sorry for the late reply, however, I am on casual hours.

When I listed all modules, the newest one was March 7th and the auto-update function did not seem to do anything.

This morning I clicked on Check for Updates and it did the update ok, so all good.

Not that it matters now, but how do you switch to the pre-release update channel? 

Thanks for your advice.

You can switch to pre-release updates in the advanced update setup:

I would like to stress that pre-release updates are not beta updates. They are standard updates which have been fully tested and are made available via the pre-release update channel first. While I don't expect you'd ever encounter an issue with them, you can switch back and forth at any time.

Thanks Marcos,

As noted above, I am not sure what corrected the problem, but it all looks good now and is checking for updates as normal.

What error do you mean? Please post a screenshot for clarification.

I've shifted the system date to the future and switched to the pre-release update channel:

Then set a correct system date and switched to the regular update channel:

No problems with the date shown in the Update pane observed.
