There is nothing like expiration of a dll. DLL is just an assembly and does not have capability of 'expiring'.

Sounds like you are in need of licensing. If so, There are different ways to achieve this:
1) encrypted license files that contains the expiry dates etc.
2) encrypted license keys held in the registry
3) challenge/response mechanism which require an internet connection
4) probably others.......

Try:
License Key Generation[^]
How can I create a Product Key for my C# App[^]
c# Licensing[^]

Also, look at these:

Windows application deployment adding registry entries[^]
