If you wrote the check, the only way to guarantee that you will not be liable for it longer than six months is to place a stop payment order on it. According to Bankrate.com, an oral stop-payment order expires after 14 days and a written stop-payment order expires in six months.
See http://www.selectCDrates.com. Usually, each check is good for six months after it's written (unless stated otherwise on the check). Since you put a stop payment on it, though, that company won't be able to do anything with it. A personal check is void/stale dated 12 months after it is written.
