How Long does RC work for?

Hi,

Is there some time period in which RC 1 will run before not letting us to
use it any more? Some sort of evaluation, or is it going to run forever?

Knowing this will help me out in deciding if I am going to seriously test it
out, i.e. spend time installing a bunch of other software and see how it
behaves, or should I just forget about it (if it is going to expire in some
short time)

Thanks,
Petar
