Why do I receive an error related to expiration date when application compiled with a Trial version of MATLAB Compiler is deployed to the end user?

I compiled a standalone application with MATLAB Compiler and distributed it to an end user. When running the EXE-file from a command prompt, the application works fine for a few weeks and then the end user encounters the following error:

ERROR: This MATLAB file has reached its expiration date.  "c:\tools\ASAP2_Creator_mcr\toolbox\compiler\deploy\matlabrc.m"

This problem occurs if the deployed application was compiled using a trial version of the MATLAB Compiler. When an executable is a created using a trial version of the MATLAB Compiler, the executable works for a duration of 30 days from the creation date of the executable.

Please check if this executable was created using a trial version of the MATLAB Compiler. If this is the case, then you would need to re-compile the original source code using a regular (non-trial) version of the MATLAB Compiler and re-deploy the application to the end user.

Would be useful to add here near the Trial download button.
