The Applet will be available on the device within this time period.
If Timing expires and you do not have any newer/non-expired Timing on the device, the latest expired Timing will remain on the device to ensure the device always has at least one active Applet and is able to play your content.
In order to display the applet content you need to set the Timing Start Date to the earlier date than the Timing End Date e.g. a year back.
