If you can reverse the timeout of the product, than everyone can hack the Express so they can use it as long as they want, without reaching the end of the ?testing? period.
I also think it's a miss of Microsoft of using the date to see if the product have been used to long, I would be better if they used a day counter.
I think you have to reinstall VWD.
