Most people do these though their distribution system such as Install Shield which take your applications binary files and wraps it's usage control around it...

I don't have an example of how this is done in C# but the methood would be to set a obscure reg key when it is first run that encodes the date...

Easy to crack though with a tool like "procmon" from sysinternals (you can see the reg key entry and delete or reset it to when it worked)

You could call it to goto the web but that can be spoofed (easy with %systemroot%/system32/etc/host) too...

Install shield isn't the best method, but will be harder to crack than most home made stuff...
as there are tools to "unwrap" install shield from a program...

best way to limit use on a program is have two versions. One with limited functionally, and another that is paid and have the program "track back" with in-program registration to verify the identity of the user. (CPU SN, Volume ID, and WMP user ID are good to build a GUID off of)
