Hello,Please see this link straight from HP for more details as to what an install-by date means:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01770210&tmp;_track_link=ot_recdoc/c01764161/en_us/c01770210/loc:2&lc;=en&dlc;=en&cc;=us&key;=null&site;=nullThank you,T3RS

The "install by" date is basically the deadline date for returning a faulty cartridge. My company has three printers that use these and we have used some after the date printed on the box with no problems. If a problem would have occurred with the expiredd (according to the date on the box) cartridge, my company would have been liable and not HP or the vendor where the cartridge was purchased.

I think that it is the date by which the cartidge should be placed into the plotter. But I would verify this with HP.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it comes pre-installed. But yeah you should be able to download it if it's not already installed.

My previous version of this software ran for 365 days from install. I'm assuming the same for the 2013 version otherwise they would have real problems in selling the 2013 version for the rest of this year.

The "Best by:" date on mine is 7/3/15, or about 15 months from when I purchased them. I go through the entire case in just over a month, so...

I ordered mine on 8/18 and was given a mid-September to early October time-frame. However, I just received notice that the computer was shipped today (!!!). Just wanted to update everyone.

The 'best by' date is on each individual package. Mine is listed as March of this year. They'll be long gone by then anyway.

All depends how handy are you, I did it myself and it only took about 5 minutes. Just make sure you have the installer code for your system...

If you order it from a brand distributor, then yes. If you order it through a marketplace seller, then you'll want to check with the seller that the software included, and that it still has installations available.

I could not find a date on the box, but when I installed it, the date was set to the current date, and the expiration date was two years later.

Seems to be a crapshoot right now. I got drives in November and they were 2.0.

Can you elaborate? If you have Windows XP or newer it should just install automatically.

I don't remember if it was pre-installed, but mine is currently running 8.3. It should automatically update to be current.

The only one that can answer that question for you is the seller. Box should have an "install by" date on the box. Since this is through Amazon, you should be able to check the manufacturer's date and return it if it appears to be an outdated product.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the date is for "best if used by". To find out for sure go to HP.com support and ask them.

just got mine today (08/22/08). included maps are the 2008 edition. when i registered the product i got a free download for the 2009 edition - which i am taking advantage of as i type this... according to the 'thank you for registering' email, the free update to 2009 maps is available until september 21st, and when you accept the download, you have 90 days to get it before the product key expires. (its a good 2 hour download alone, not including install time)

Brian - Sorry, I really didn't track it before and after that closely. I wish I could answer, but can't. I can say that you should be able to install it on your own. It also sounds great!
