You need to be looking at licensing. This is a very broad subject and IMO
supported very poorly in MSDN because obviously, everybody has their own
idea of how licensing should go.

Basically you need to have a licensing component that knows on what day iw
was installed and fails 15 days after..

Of course. if you just want to do this for *one* test you can use datetime
and an absolute timeout.
