Well, we use a licensing system for our software where we can set a timeout. Changing the clock will not defeat it because the first time you run the app it encodes and encrypts the time you did that in the license file. So, if you set the date back it will notice that the last time you ran it was after the current date time.

My assumption here is that The clock was never set, so perhaps it defaulted to Jan 1, 1900 when bookeen was shipped. So, anytime you open a book it would think you've had it for 108 years when compared to the expire date on the book file.

So, I would also say, that yes, you want to set this to the correct date of when you are doing this procedure. Seems like they didn't bother with the time, they figured you won't get "that" close where you are reading at midnight on the last day. Of course, this seems to be setting the clock to noon, so it depends on when you did it, if your clock would be ahead or behind.
