In this particular case I have in mind, there is the following error message that was dropped into our ticket system with little context:
You are currently operating within the grace period of your product license. To update your product license select the Retrieve Keys option from within License Manager.

There must be a certain class of people out there staring dumbly at their fuel gauge, wondering why the car never seems to start when the needle points to E. It is but one step removed from the people who excitedly chew the little silicone packets marked DO NOT EAT.
This is why I do not fear these trying economic times.
