Installed 2014 developer edition but SSMS says license has expired

Installed SQL Server 2014 to evaluate it. The evaluation has expired. I uninstalled SQL Server 2014. Via my MSDN subscription I downloaded the Developers edition for SQL Server 2014.

It installed ok but SSMS.exe says that the evaluation period has expired.

---------------------------
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
---------------------------
Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software please go to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I don't want to buy it I have the developers edition and I want to use it to develop with not use in a commercial sense.


I tried following the advice here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971268?wa=wsignin1.0 even though it is for an older version. Didn't work.

I now as a consequence have 2 named instances of SQL Server 2014 but can't play with either of them due to SSMS being expired.

How can one fix this short of nuking my notebook and starting again which I won't do?
