If you want to turn your application into a trial version which can also be upgraded to a full version there is an article here on CP that will give you a solution to your problem: Application Trial Maker[^].

+5. This is what I got out of the question as well.

I guess this is the answer, my 5.
OP is recommended to accept it formally (green button).

Solution 1

Place a timer component on your form, configure an interval of 60000 milliseconds. In the Timer event handler, check the current date. If it is your specific date, terminate the application.

I'm not sure that is what OP is really after, but it does solve the problem as stated. 5+ :)
I actually think OP is trying to make a trial version out of his application. There's a nice article about it on CP: Application Trial Maker

If you will rely on windows datetime than user may change date-time , what I have done in my application I am maintaining a log detail for this purpose, On each login and logout I am saving it to database, before login I get last logout and match it with datetime.now if its less than last logout then it shows error same thing is done on logout.
after marching datetime.now with last logout I am calculating days,
for security purpose I am saving login and logout in encrypted form, I hope this will work for me.
if any one have better solution please let me know because tomorrow or day after tomorrow I am going to deploy my app on client pc.

Solution 3

What you mean by stop, just exiting on reaching that date ?
Otherwise you can add checking on Main , and if the currentDate = DeadDate, exit your appliation by showing some message to user :)

You can also use webservices to get std Dates, that does not depend upon the system dates.
