I downloaded the Rising Internet Security {full package} on a 30 day trial,

But when I clicked on the update the license turned into a 180 days or so,

It may work for others if not you've lost note

Yes, but if you do that, you will no longer have the little umbrella in the system icons at bottom right, so no way to be sure your A/V is activated OK.

I've done it myself but kept the splash screen. Works fine for me. Perhaps if you disable the splash screen, maybe, but I can't see it working like that.
