There are companies that provide services like this such as SafeDisc[^] and SecuROM[^] (http://www.securom.com/[^]).

There are also companies that provide USB key protection like Nexcopy[^] and KeyLok[^].

You could include some form of serial number, and you can obfuscate your code to discourage reverse engineering. and you could include a live validation check with a server you own to watch for duplicate keys.

Nothing is perfect though, there is always someone who finds a way round these things. And all of these things impact negatively on genuine paying customers.

You're better off encouraging your customers to pay through excellent support and customer service, good follow ups, regular updates and sensible prices. Forget the people who copy it, they are a minority anyway.
