Yes, but this is not the case here. We just want people to be running the
final version, not the beta version. We don't want reviews in magazines
to be based on obsolete kits that people copied to FTP servers, etc. We
are still getting complaints about 1994 kits for Classic that people are
somehow still downloading from FTP servers that installed a copy and then
never updated it! So, we'll make the perpetual license keys require the
build date of the release version. In general it is common for beta
software to expire and require you to download the real thing - Netscape
comes to mind.
