FlexLM is a horrible piece of shite[0]. It's unfortunately also being
used in too many end-user design/test/other types of software now.

Although I've not had to bodge it myself, why not use one of those
LD_PRELOAD hacks with a bodged time function that'll tell it whatever it
thinks it wants to know? Failing that, completely remove the software
and re-install it again - and deal with their option online reg BS.

[0] A technical term used to refer to any company that thinks it's
actually possible to prevent people copying software how they do.
