If the SQL Server Engine service is restarted, it will check and refuse to start if it is more than 180 days.

Instead of using the "Evaluation Edition", use the "Developers Edition", which has no expiration date. Be sure to follow the licensing for it... you MUST NOT use it for "production" code but it can be used for development of production code. If you want to use something from that for production, you MUST buy a proper license for either the "Standard" Edition or the "Enterprise" Edition.
