If you ever get this message in SharePoint 2007:
The trial period for this product has expired
You may not actually have an expired license. Especially if you have a RTM Standard or Enterprise license for MOSS.
Instead, it could be one of SharePoint's extra-special error messages that really mean this and this. Or something else. Or it's just feeling saucy that day...
...or maybe it's just an expired license.
Update: It ended up being an antivirus program update that caused the issue. The update was uninstalled and the problem disappeared.

"Saucy" he says...
Any chance you'd let us know what VS program you're running, and was it a dat update, engine, patch etc. that caused the "sauciness" of MOSS?
TIA
We don't run the server. It IT folks do. So I don't have all of the details right now.
Wow, I'm getting this error when I attempt to publish a page. This is maybe the most confidence-shattering issue I've encountered with SP.
I tried making my App Pool account a local admin, but no dice.
How did you ever diagnose that the cause was your antivirus?
The server guys figured that it was something they did recently, and the very same day they had done some upgrade to the AV. When in doubt, undo what you just did. :-)
OK, I was harsh to blame it on SharePoint. It turns out that it was the sole responsibility of the AntiVirus software. Apparently the AV was treating the MOSS license registry key as a "virus" and preventing access to it, which caused MOSS to think the license was invalid.
I ran the SharePoint Configuration Wizard and that fixed the problem.
Thanks! Running the configuration wizard fixed my problem too!
