Hello Everyone

I developed a .NET application and now I need to create a setup of that for
distribution. But here I would like to
distribute my application as a trial version for certain period of time and
then promt the user for registration. If it is
not registered after that period the application has to expire. Please
advise me how could I accomplish this task.
