If you cannot install certain themes/ games/ applications, try doing this:
When installing my themes to your Nokia devices such as N95, N80, N91, N80 etc. out of the blue you just might see this message: “Expired certificate!”. This is simply because security measures within the Series 60 operating system only let you install themes which are less than six months old. ( …What a Shame!!)
But all is not lost, because all you have to do is you just have to move the date on your Nokia N Series/E Series back a year, install the theme, then change the date back to normal. (…Still Cant Follow me? …Alrighty then! Read on..). Below is a step by step instruction.
To change the date on your Nokia N Series or E Series, follow these instructions:
* Click on the Menu button, highlight Tools and click the centre selection key (the ‘OK’ key)
* Highlight Settings and click the OK key
* Highlight General and click the OK key
* Highlight Date and time and click the OK key
* Highlight the date and click the OK key
* Use the Right Navigation key to highlight the year. To change the year back one year, press the Down navigation key once.
* Press the Red “End” key to return to standby mode.
And Voila!! Now install your new theme and the chance it should be installed all smooth is 99.99% (…Unless you are one of those real unlucky guys who is just unlucky!).
If you still see the Expired certificate error, change the year back another year and try installing again. ( ..Trust me… It also works sometimes, just trust me!!)
When it’s installed successfully and you are all happy go lucky, REMEMBER to follow the instructions again, setting the year back to the present by highlighting the year and pressing the Up navigation key once (…this is to ensure that you are not late by one year the next day to wherever you might be going LMAO!! )

To a reasonably n00b-a-licious programmer-type-person., I am thinking…wouldn’t it be easier, if you just updated the dates on your software? I guess, after a certain point you just have too many downloads to be updating them every six months. Ok ok., fair enough. Hmmm, what about an auto-date-modifier script perhaps?
Would that satisfy the window security restriction?
Regards,
AWESOME layout for the website btw :). Lovin’ it!!

Go to “Settings” > “App. mgr.” or “Installations” > “App. mgr.” then Select “Option” > “Configuration” and Change “Software installation” from “Signed only” to “All”. Thats it. It is easy but beware only install softwares you’re sure about.
