I doubt that any PDP-8 family OS checks for licensing of any sort.
Back in those days, DEC used the format DD-MMM-YY for dates, so try
something like:

I am fiddling with diskettes on my PDP-8/e. I booted COS-310 V8 and it
asked for a date. I tried lots of date combinations, and none were accepted.
Is this because I don't have an LTC installed?

Are you sure that's an 'S'? I thought the 'S' was the M8260/M8261 board
set with the links to disable the bus arbiter so it can be used as a slave
processor.
