I haven't known that they add the license if I change it under "update 
branch"...I wroted a mail to fix this.

Yes, of course.

Ok.

It is only a test-version. But it doesn't work on all systems like
a "real" watchdog timer (which should reboot the system). Some BIOSes
checking the watchdog timer flags and waiting for user interaction 
(press F2 to enter setup, etc.) because the Bios on my 8RDA+ uses
the timer as indication if a FSB change, etc. has failed.
