hey all, I've been looking around for different licensing techniques,
I've come across aquatic prime which looks pretty secure. but after
reading quite a few debates about it, it makes me skeptical. is there
anyone out there who uses it, or can vouch for it? I am also thinking
that it's probably ok, as my app isn't going to be some million dollar
app that crackers would even want to target. So I don't know, just
looking for someone's experience, and if they had alternatives. Thanks
all!

My advice is to do as little work as you can. The bottom line is people *will* crack your software, no matter how secure you make it (a quick look at the games industry where millions is poured into DRM will confirm this). Thus, the best solution is to do enough to deter your honest users from cracking it (put some simple hash based password on it), while expending as little effort yourself as you possibly can.
