No, it sounds like you've looked at it more closely than I have at this  
point.  I used only raw mode in my test, and didn't notice any expiration  
date.  Did this imply that the program would be unusable after a certain  
date?  I could see that for a beta version of the program, but I certainly  
hope the author had enough sense to put it only in the backup program, and not  
the restore program!
