"Is cryptography required to implement licensing feature?", no it's not but then you say it is required for you. So, yes cryptography is required for *you* to implement your licensing feature. Not sure why you had to ask us this when you already knew the answer.

Thanks you for reply.
I just want to know that if there is any other method without using cryptography.

Yes of course there are other methods but you said that you have to use cryptography for this. So, why are you even asking this?

Maybe take one of the applications in c++/non-win32 api and break it into smaller pieces in order to implement in win32 api? Programming isn't about finding the magical end all be all answer. Sometimes you need to build what you want.

If the problem you are trying to solve looks too daunting, start with small portions of it. Next thing you know you've knocked out half your solution without thinking "this is way too difficult"

If the solution to your problem existed, your company/employer/customer probably would have bought it without a need for you to build it.
