It's for work. Diagnostic software for Machinery that has been orphaned. The program has a provision that makes it time out and stopped functioning but the company that provided it no longer is in business. But we have sold machines to customers that are still using them and we need to be able to have our mechanic's laptop communicate with the machines sometimes. You can't just send a company that doesn't exist an email and tell them that you want to re-up your software.

A virtualized guest OS with wrong date/time setting may do the trick, but it has to be kept off-line from internet or host OS, otherwise the guest OS and app may find actual real date. It all depends on the mechanism for the trigger - host based time, internet based time, up-time counter, etc. Most likely doable, but is also surely to be against TOS/EULA/contract with defunct company, which will not stop copyright/intellectual property owners from suing if they find out.
