I wouldn't be too quick to jump to that conclusion. There are many vendors that have been marketing trading subscription services for years, not to mention print media doing the same (albeit at a greater delay).
And, if web site hosting services can be believed, any website can be made fault tolerant with 99%+ uptime.
As for licensing, the most common approaches that I've seen for limited life access are:
1. Expiring key file.
2. Username/password access to on-line content.
3. Automated nightly email receipt.
Given that you are talking about a local DLL (i.e. a file on the user's disk), a key file to go with it sounds like a reasonable match. It also has the benifit of not requiring a network connection. Though, it might get pretty irritating to have to update a keyfile on a monthly basis. Perhaps quarterly or semi annually instead.
Does anyone know of an open source keyfile generation utility?

I'm working on a similar thing (different concept I'm sure), I've been trying to give it some thought as well.
