just a thought ...
Well, let me drop my $0.02 -
I'm not aware of the existing mechanisms to identify pirated software and how effective it is. But here's something I think might work:
Each software copy must contain a unique id. As soon as the first copy of this software is installed, the user *must* be taken to a software registration page where the user will enter this unique ID and get his/her software copy registered.
A tool, well integrated with the softwarem will gather information about the hardware configuration of the machine on which the copy is installed. So, if someone tries to install the software on any other machine, his/her copy will never be enabled.
Using IP address of the machine, the user can well be tracked. I'm not sure if this will work.
What do you think?
