No, I haven't seen any written material in the packaging, on the disk or upon activation that it was in any way limited. Sooooooooo, keeping my fingers crossed, but I believe it to be non-limited... just a promotional (free) version.

Check your package it came in, the disk and under My Computer and the Activation Screens to see if it has anything saying that it has a time-limit on it.

Usually they are pretty up-front about any time limits on the packaging or liscense paperwork (like the 2008 Enterprise Service trial).
