How about if you *really* set the date forward?
Maybe we've got a bad one, or a UK one?
Maybe yours doesn't expire even then?
After all, Robelle were talking about different rules for different

I can never understand this. Products like HourGlass are apparently
supposed not to trigger expirations and such. Which is obviously
desirable.

But if they don't, they can't really be truly simulating setting the
machine date forward.
