Did you declare it as a global on the card also? You have to declare it for every context that it will be used. Stack, card, if you use it in a button script, wherever. If you've declared it in a card script, and set its value, but then use it WITHOUT declaration all you get back is the text of

Sorry Mark, I’ve just switched countries and I haven’t got all the info to hand, but I think the length of validation depends on the certifcate(s) one buys - you can get them for different lengths of time. From memory, mine are three-year certificates, but you can get shorter and longer ones.
