the trial period for this product has expired

Hello
I want to share with you same issue that i had in customer farm,
every time that the Farm admin try to access the profile section in the SSP, or the end users tried to enter their My site or tried search something, They get a wired error "the trial period for this product has expired"

So like a educated boy i changed the CDKEY- but still this irritating error.
The next step is "Google diggings" I found same post that said to changed the DCOM security, its work only for 2 hours .

long story short, the one to blame in this never ending story is the MacAfee antivirus (with SharePoint agent)
it scanning and taking control on the CAL mechanism, and its consequence gave the license error.

Here is what Microsoft said about this issue
