Problems when extracting Expiry Dates

Different registrars use different formats for expiry dates, last updated dates, etc. Domain Name Analyzer Professional is capable of finding the correct format automatically. However in certain cases the software will not be successful.

For example, if it encounters a date like 08-11-2006, there is no way to know which is the date and which is the month. In such cases Domain Name Analyzer Pro will not extract the date. But it is capable of learning the format as it encounters more domain name records from the same registrar. For example, if it notices another domain name record with the date 03-31-2005, it will know that the registrar uses mm-dd-yyyy format. From then on, the software will extract the dates for that registrar without any problems.

Here are some important KB articles on expiry dates.
