You understand the concept of "beta", "beta-testing" and "beta-tester",
don't you?
The version you have is not a final official release and thus you should not
expect anything about it.

Perhaps you should be using POV-Ray 3.1 (and not a BETA version) for your
necessary work, eh?

1. First of all don't use beta versions for commercial works.
Nobody will guarantee effect.
2. It works the same since more than year.
3. Haven't you readed informations displayed during installation ?
4. Since you are using it commercial I assume You readed in POVLEGAL:
"As the program is free, the entire risk as to the quality and performance
of the Software is borne by you, and it is your responsibility to ensure
that it does what you intend it to do prior to using it for any purpose
other than testing it."
5. Check if this feature is known, intentional and already
discussed so many times: http://news.povray.org/search/?s=expir
6. Turn your clock back, start pov and then turn your clock forward
or download povray 3.1 since it is official and supported release.

You should read changes log if you are using pov for comercial purposes. You
can read there that similiar feature was introduced in latest release. *)
Note: TheBat is commercial product with own price while POV-Ray is only as
good as volunteers.

*) Unfortunatelly hard to say how it works since www.povray.org is currently
not accesible - does this mean webpage is updated for official release?.

If you had bothered to read the download page you not only would have known
that it expires but also that this is a *beta* version. As you obviously
missed this important point I suppose it is easy for you to imagine that you
are not the only person who downloads software without reading what it is
first. In the past this caused problems when people did not figure out they
were running an completely outdated beta version and then started to report
bugs in it that of course were fixed months (or even years) before the
report. This not only wasted out time, but also their time having to write
the report and dealing with the bugs. So an expiration date is good for all
sides.
If you want to use POV-Ray, download the latest final version, which at this
moment in time is still 3.1 for the general public.

Hey, guess how the beta archives for Win and Mac end up on the server every
time? Via a good only modem/ISDN at 38/64 kbit/s upload throughput. Plus
another download to verify it is really OK... ;-)
