This method should do the job

procedure DoCheckListBox( AChkLb : TCheckListBox; AMaxCheck : Integer );
var
  LIdx : Integer;
  LCheckCount : Integer;
begin
  // counting
  LCheckCount := 0;
  for LIdx := 0 to AChkLb.Count - 1 do
  begin
    if AChkLb.Checked[LIdx] then
      if LCheckCount = AMaxCheck then
        AChkLb.Checked[LIdx] := False
      else
        Inc( LCheckCount );
  end;
  // enable/disable
  for LIdx := 0 to AChkLb.Count - 1 do
    AChkLb.ItemEnabled[LIdx] := AChkLb.Checked[LIdx] or ( LCheckCount < AMaxCheck );
end;

UPDATE

You better call this inside TCheckListBox.OnClickCheck event instead of OnClick event. A double-click can affect the check-state but OnClick is not called. OnClickCheck is called whenever the check-state changes.
