The real question is, do you get module updates after doing this?

But the only way to get a copy of the pgm is if you buy it right?

I seem to have stumbled over a bug in Core Impact licensing
mechanisms
that will allow anyone to continually use the Core Impact
product even
after the license has expired.

This is not a security issue but it is, I feel, either an
oversight or
a "feature" which can be abused to utilise the Core Impact
product for
longer than designed / desired.

In my "business funded" Core Impact install on this machine, the 
license expired at the end of last month and the usualy
"Your license
has expired" pop-up appears, however it is easy to
re-enable Core to a
working install by merely changing the system date on the
PC to say a
month before the product was due to expire. Oops  ;) I
guess Core is
using a very simplistic license mechanism.

Emailed CORE two times, 1 week ago, no reply.
