I was thinking about generating a key based on something like the host
name i.e. the user sends me their host name and I send them a license
that will allow them to run the application on that computer only (i.e.
it's encoded into the license key and checked each time the program
runs).
I'd like to get people's feedback on whether this would help prevent
piracy, and whether the extra step of people sending me the hostname (or
some other info to identify their computer) in order to obtain a license
would be likely to lose sales for me. The application has a demo mode
that lets them try out the application, with saving and printing
disabled, so they would be able to assess the application without a
license.
Comments?
Thanks
Gideon.
