In most cases, no. The TimePilot system gets its time setting from the computer on which its data folder resides. If you store your TimePilot data on your PC, the system gets the time from the PC; if you store the data on a server, it gets the time from the server; if it’s in the Cloud, it gets the time from the Cloud. The important thing is to make sure that your computer (or server) is set to make the time change by making sure you’re up to date on Windows updates.
A little background: Starting in 2007, Daylight Saving Time started three weeks earlier than customary in most of the U.S. and many provinces in Canada. In the U.S., Congress introduced a provision in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandating that clocks “spring forward” three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday in March, and “fall back” a week later than before, on the first Sunday in November, in an effort to save electricity. Since then there have been several efforts in Congress to end Daylight Saving Time altogether, though none has become law.
Future dates (assuming no Congressional action):
| Year | Daylight Saving Time Starts | Daylight Saving Time Ends |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | March 9 | November 2 |
| 2026 | March 8 | November 1 |
| 2027 | March 14 | November 7 |
| 2028 | March 12 | November 5 |
