MG MGF Technical - MG Rover RAVE CD 'expired'

My copy of the 2002 MG Rover RAVE CD suddenly doesn't work anymore. When I try to launch it, a "MultiUser Security Handler" screen pops up saying "Expired".

Is there any way to disable or to bypass this time sensitive feature which, I understand, is there to make sure dealers always use the latest version of the CD sent to them?

There should be a "date.bat" on the root of the CD - run that and it replaces a file with one which doesn't check the date.

Or temporarily put the date back on your computer?

Change your computer date when you run rave and change it back after.

I thought it was only the EPC that was date sensitive?

I thought so as well SF but looked again and the original poster stated '2002 MG Rover RAVE CD' - I have only seen RAVEs prior to TF intro.

Was looking at my RAVE disc last night and it worked fine.

Hmm...good point, I was thinking EPC when I answered! My RAVE works fine too, it's only a set of PDFs.
