cdrecord-ProDVD key expired?

[Greg Wooledge <wooledg@eeg.ccf.org>]

I'm getting the infamous "Alarm clock" error during the countdown
when trying to burn with cdrecord-ProDVD.  I've got the key from
the README file (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README)
which was updated on 2004-01-26... and it's only May.  Is this key
expired already?

Once again, what's the procedure for getting a *real* (non-expiring)
key?  We'd be willing to buy one for our organization if necessary.
We're a deparment within a large but non-profit hospital.  We burn
data CDs and occasionally DVDs for both doctors and patients.

Details:  This is an HP-UX 10.20 system.  I've burned using this software
on this computer with the same hardware many, many time.  This looks
precisely like the error I get when a cdrecord-ProDVD key expires.
