Check msql/msqld.c, about line 654 (it was 654 in Beta 5 anyway).
The counter is 60 days from the time 858088800. Just bump the
time forward a bit.

This is not a technique to try to get you to license the product,
it's a technique to try and keep old, probably buggy, beta versions
from living too long.
