So what is the common wisdom in regards to when is the best time (day/time) to purchase a 2-day FDRS license for a full 2-day weekend worth? I read somewhere here that if you buy it after midnight on Thursday (like 00:05 on Friday), your license will be valid Friday through midnight Sunday, so technically 3 days.

Caution on using Sunday's as a day to install updates. It's not uncommon for the FDRS servers to be offline for maintenance.

First thing in the morning when you want to do updates. Sunday is typically only sketchy for updates in the mornings, but it can extend into the afternoon at times.

I usually purchase Saturday morning and then check after work Monday just to be sure nothing new popped up.

Thanks @imnuts , that's what I ended up doing. Saturday morning license purchase, continued on Sunday and finalized Monday. It is more like a 48 hours until following midnight.
