sorry for misleading you, didn't check the latest
available sources. As there was a problem in an earlier
release it is possible the problem is still in the sources
as they are not yet for beta 39. You can circumvent the
problem by adapting the lines

#define EXPIRE_AT       (1272664800 + DAYS(92))
#define HARD_EXPIRY     (1293832800)

in source/backend/povray.h to a later date (in seconds).

It's not supposed to give you a hard expiry until 2011.
I suspect the problem are the lines

   if (_time32 (NULL) > EXPIRE_AT)
   {
     MessageBox (NULL, "This pre-release version of POV-Ray for Windows 
expired on 31 Dec 2010.", "Pre-release expired", MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP) ;
     exit (1) ;
   }

in pvengine.cpp, which look a bit like a copy and paste
leftover from the HARD_EXPIRY test.
