I agree that this could be also because of not getting all the date checking locations in the code right, but then this (duplicate code for the same purpose) sounds like 'pre-function' coding - and I didn't want to imply such a bad/outdated coding style...
FYI: Upgrading to v0.99.2030 via Impulse didn't solve the problem. This newer version still thinks its time is over [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Beta 0.98 expired prematurely today on my system as well. My guess is that the expiration check expects to get the system date in US date format. Australia (where the original poster is located) uses the DD.MM.YYYY date format, as does Germany (where I am). Maybe the expiration check thinks today is the ninth of January (and disregards the year part)...
