Not with WiX. WiX only allows you to do what Windows Installer does and this is
clearly out of bounds. You have to build this into your own application. The
Installer won't be run again after the product has been installed, so neither
expiration nor automatic uninstallation is possible.
You can put some registration logic into a custom action you write but remember
that .msi is an open format, with free editors available. Therefore, it is very
easy to circumvent any keycode control or similar by modifying the .msi itself.
If you want anything serious, you have to do your homework... :-))
