quartus lite says "You have 7 days remaining"? [quartus_cpf]

Hello,

I notice that even though I installed the quartus lite - when I am running through an example on the DE10-Nano, a particular command (quartus_cpf)

says "You have 7 days remaining (until May 16, 2018) to use..."

Should the lite version stop working in this way?

I posted the output below for reference....

Please help!

Thanks!
