This is a question that comes up many times, and there are many solutions, but it tends to ignore a fairly fundamental question, mainly why is this not a great idea in a .NET application?

If you look at the fact that most of these solutions are intended to try and stop somebody from illegally using your application, then you need to consider that .NET applications tend can be easily reversed using a tool like Reflector, which allows people to see what your licensing mechanism is, and to easily bypass it.

Rajesh,

You need to implement licensing in your code,there are multiple ways to do it.

1.You can use databases if your application uses databases

2.You can create your own license file , with time duration inside it ,may be xml file included in your application. when user logs in your application this license file will be read(may be decoded if encoded and kept with application),time information will extracted and compared.
