Is OCS 2007 R2 Eval period really 180 days?

Around 10 days ago I've installed OCS 2007 R2 Eval (Standard Version) which is supposedly has 180 day trial period.

I'm now getting daily error 12292 in OCS Event log on both Front-End/Pool and Edge servers stating:

"The service will expire in 18 days. Obtain the released version of this product and upgrade to the non-evaluation version by running setup.exe"

Have I missed something or is the OCS 2007 R2 Eval only valid for 30 days instead of 180?

Same problem here:
I installed the same edition today and immediately got the same error - it will expire in 9 days. So it seems to be a fixed date to expire on June 13?
There is something broken in this version. I got it from MS download today.
