You should be able to *get* the definitions; now, as to whether they will *install* is a different matter. I think the updates check the subscription status of the retail versions. I dunno; I use the Corporate Edition, and I know I can download the updates for Exchange every few days, and they for sure install. (the Exchange version only downloads a set number of times per month, so sometimes I download more often by hand) As for every year, if you're using a version that is multiple years old on a Windows platform, it would be in your best interest to update to a newer version, just for the engine updates. > Mike Leone said: > > W.
