If you're on a permanent key, it shouldn't happen.

Beta key allows Bluray operations for 30 days after you start using BD features. DVD features do not have that time limit.

The BD timer is reset when you input the beta key, even if it's the same beta key you're already using. It just has to be a currently-valid beta key.

You do have a key - the Beta key is in the install for the program.

Have you read the Key FAQ in the General section yet?
