The longest time on mine is about 2 weeks. However it caches  about 8
days worth currently.  I had it suspended for a couple of days doing
file and disk  maintenance, so it might be a tad more. 

In Seti ALL units expire in 14 days from the time they are sent out.
If you cannot return them within that 14 day window then you will not
get any credit for doing the work unless a very special set of things
happen.

I think to only time the 14 day time limit is exceeded is if you have 10
days worth and crunching takes longer. However, I think this is likely
to be a very minor problem. This can be overcome by asking for a few
days less cache.
ACTUALLY the ONLY way to exceed the 14 day time limit, which is
programmed into the settings, is to cheat! You MUST know how to break
into the system and use it to your advantage, this is being fixed by
Berkeley.
