Photoshop CS6 Beta?

[Marine03]

I am currently using CS6 Beta and was trying to figure 2 things,

I am trying to use Iris blur and notice that several different filters and features in the the light grey that can not be clicked on and I'm wondering if I just have the wrong tool selected?

second is if one day it will just stop working?  With the release of the final version.  I have older photoshop elements software and would like to keep using CS6,  do I need to disable it from reaching the internet somehow so it can't be locked down remotely if adobe even does that?  I Had thought it will only work for 60 days but mine seems to still be going.

They give you 30 days with the Beta, after the full version is released.
The program is also set up to time itself off your computers date and time...Not the internet.
FYI, if you change your date and time to get around this, it'll disable the beta.

If you like the program, you should buy it.  Or look into the cloud service.
