Right, Ben. January 19, 2038 at 3:14:07 GMT is the day that the epoch time counter will reach 2,147,483,647 which is the largest number a signed 32-bit integer can hold.
In order to prevent this, Remedy would need to be recompiled to use 64-bit integers on a 64-bit system.like in the Linux/Unix version of 7.5 which probably do not have this limitation. Sadly, the 32-bit Windows versions always will have this problem until 64-bit Windows versions or AR/ITSM come out. --- J.T.

A 64 bit operating system AND a recompile (at best) of your application and possibly (likely) source code changes will remove that limitation. I think this will match Y2K in terms of costs.
