It is a bad idea to have file with encrypted strings. You should

Not sure that this is the right place to put a serial software

Indeed it is not, though perhaps for not the reason you thought. The
critical issue is that the Keychain Access program gives the user the
ability to export keys pretty easily, which means that in most cases
the user would simply be able to export any "secret" you kept there
and pass it on to other people, which presumably is what you are
trying to avoid.
