Not much to it in theory.
You use an installation that is scripted or has a "post installation action" that generates a time-bomb date and stores it someplace (registry, a file). The program must be written to fetch that date and stop with a message if it has passed.
The tricky part involves making this stored date hard to find and falsify, as well as making it hard to locate the fetching/testing logic within the compiled program you install. There is no simple formula for doing this, and how tricky you need to get is really a tradeoff between the risk and the effort/cost.
For more serious situations you might look into commercial offerings. Generally you'll need to prevent sharing of install keys as well so you might need product registration, etc.
How can i get the date details (registry details) while building the setup file in inno setup wizard.
