Protecting your Software Products with a unique Key System

    Hi everyone,

    I'm looking for people who sell software (Windows based) online. How do you deliver your product and assure that one copy can only be used on one PC?

    We developed a unique key generation system that works in the following way:

    -Upon making a purchasing, a unique key is generated and delivered to the user.
    -They register the product after installing it by entering the key, it contacts the server and marks the key as used in the database, along with a unique hash identifying the users computer.
    -The user can always reinstall and register the software on that pc, but never on another.

    It very works well, we use it on the following sites:

    I am wondering if anyone would be interested in integrating this kind of system into their software/servers.

    Would you be keen to pass it onto a security firm for possible exploitation? This could aid in further development of your product. - 100% anti piracy ;)
