Actually *trial* licenses do expire, after 30 days

"Trial Programs Included With Orders
We may include additional programs with an order which may be used for trial purposes only. You will have 30 days from the delivery date to evaluate these programs. Any use of these programs after the 30 day trial period requires you to obtain the applicable license. Programs licensed for trial purposes are provided "as is" and we do not provide technical support or any warranties for these programs.
"

However the technet license which covers non-commercial use does not have an expiry term. So yes you can install EE on your home system for learning etc this is not however a trial license but a non-commercial use license. </pedant>
