There have been several proposals to solve that.
- After expiration have a splash screen at startup, that tells the user 
that it has expired and that they should not post bug reports anymore 
nor distribute it.
- Compile several beta versions, one with the standard 1 month 
expiration. One with 1 month and a week, to be posted when the team is 
not able to generate a new version before expiration, but thinks one 
week should be enough. One with 2 months etc.

As I said before, I am *not* going to use the beta until this problem is 
solved. I am probably not the only one, so you are loosing a number of 
dedicated beta testers this way. I do appreciate all the work you are 
putting into this, but I just have to wait for a stable release :( .
