Do SoB WUs using the Prime95 client "decay"?

[VirtualLarry]

Just wondering. I started a WU using the Prime95 SoB client on my P4 rig, that I'm now decommissioning, and would like to re-format the box. I realize that I may lose the points that I crunched so far (WU at 10% completion), but that's ok.

I'm hoping that if I don't crunch on that WU for some time, it will get re-assigned to someone else. Is this true, or will it be assigned to me permanently?

I know SoB's web site has an interface to allow you to cancel WUs, but do WUs assigned by the Prime95 software show up there?

I think the Prime95 client is the primary client now, so you should be able to cancel the WU. It will get reassigned eventually anyway.

You can't cancel WUs received from PrimeGrid, but they too get reassigned eventually.

Yes, they do show up on the SOB website in the "Preferences" with the PrimeGrid client.
I assume that WU not reported after "X" days get reassigned just like with the older client, i just don't remember what "X" is... 30 days, 60 days?


Ken, do you know if you can update to the latest client in the middle of a WU? I see v26.3 is the latest & i'm using an older one. This would be the Windows client.
