What about the scheme that Mathematica uses?
As background, MMA just uses some cellular automata based encryption to
validate the Math ID (provided at registration) against the Machine ID

The only difference between this process and a simple serial is that the
serial is tied to a specific machine. It can still be cracked, and
serials can still be generated.
