The Constitution states, 'no Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed'; to the extent that those executive agencies' enabling legislation permits ex post facto regulations, that legislation is unconstitutional.

The Government can simply ban the use of that software without a license set at a future date (i.e. 1/1/2017).
New Regulation -> Future Date -> Ex post facto claims don't happen.
That is the process my original comment intended to imply.
