How is the Expiration (due date) of work units set. Is it set up for 2 week period? or is there another option that is used?

I may be traveling with my laptop soon so I wanted to see if I could download a few work units and process them and upload them when I get back

Is this possible?

It is set to 14 days. This expiration period can unfortunately not been changed.

Read the News at the homepage
Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

Best greetings, Thierry

Thank you for the answer I was not sure what the time out was setting at. I guess if I decide to take my laptop and leave bonic running I will have to mae sure I empty out the cache or find a way to have it connect at some point while I am gone

The best solution would be to switch to Classic for your vacation and then back to Boinc when you come back. Assuming you can't get on-line somewhere.
