My experience with this approach is that it's better to use two "deadlines". One is "soft expiration" where you pops someting (dialog/notification etc) that there's update and user have to update as the current version is no longer supported and "hard expiration" (perfectly at lest 2 or 3 weeks later than "soft") which enforces upgrade by simply halting current version. And make sure you do not push that too frequent. Each version shall live no less than 1,5-2 months or your (l)users will rant.
