Arria V GX Starter Kit - Quartus II DKE? One year license?

Hmmm that's really weird, it's not what I remembered about the Startix kits I played with, but it was years ago. A real bad move from Altera.

One of the solutions I could think about is to install a virtual machine on your computer, disable the clock auto updating and set it's date to one year in the past. But it really sucks to have to use those kind of solutions just to be able to use the kit you bought, especially when it's so expensive.
