In 2005, the United States government passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This act changes the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) as of spring 2007. This raises some questions about how software handles dates.

All of Prezza Technologies' products that use dates get the date from the web server and/or the SQL Server, and never from the client. There is no need for any updates to Prezza Technologies products due to the Daylight Savings Time changes.

As long as you update your servers with the patches provided by Microsoft, all of Prezza Technologies' products will run without issues caused by the change.
