Why not schedule the task in task scheduler for every two months?

This can simply be done by recording the installation date somewhere (in the registry, install directory, or somewhere else), preferrably encrypted, and checking that date against today's date everytime the user runs the application (and regularly while it is running, if you expect them to run your application continuously for days). But that will only allow you to warn the user as he starts the app, and block the app if the period has expired. If you want a "reminder" to pop-up on its own (independent of the application being used) when the expiration date comes close, then you should use the task scheduler of Windows (something like checking daily for a comparison between the recorded installation date and today's date, and warn the user if he is within 5-10 days of the expiration date).

If so, it would download the new version and replace itself.
