Expiration for trial install

Hi all, how can I find out how much longer I have on my SQL2005 trial
install. I'm trying to see when I should get a licensed ver. Thanks.I guess getting creation date for msdb should be reasonably safe (assuming you haven't rebuilt it):
SELECT create_date
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'msdb'

some logs on the install, shows it was installed back on 11/05, I'm wondering
why it hasn't expired yet.
