Or you just set a calendar reminder up ahead of time or have something like nagios set up to bug you when you get close.  Why make &quot;expiration date&quot; not mean expiration date?<p>If my driver&#x27;s license expires and I drive, I&#x27;m breaking the law. Sure, a judge or cop could be lenient, but there is no legal requirement (or justification?) for them to do so.
