Time bomb a HIL executable

I would like a HIL (dSPACE) executable to expire after a certain date. In a "normal" C environment I'd simply call standard C functions to test the current date against the drop-dead date and abort() if it's later.

Alas the HIL environment doesn't support a lot of the standard C library, notably the time/clock functions.

Anybody else been in this boat before? Or can direct me to a better forum to post the question?

Why would you want to do that?
If someone is paying for your work, do they know about it?
 
It's a free evaluation. Like most other evaluations, it should have a limited lifespan.

And yes, the potential customer knows about it. It was a condition of the evaluation.
