> but how would you licence
This is a wonderful question and fairly simple to answer.
Seeing as though you have a real live push/pull application (when you use FCS) you can licence your product on your server. This licence can be perpetually synchronised locally using GUID key pairing or some other form of "certification".
However, just like any other type of "security", remember someone will eventually work out how to patch your code to bypass that. But the average person wont know how to.
Of course, what you try to do is ensure that some "critical" part of the system can only be actioned by the server working on data it is sent.
For example, think of the game Earth & Beyond, it is actually useless without connecting to the server. When you connect to the server it ensures your subscription is current and lets you access all the functionality. If not, all you can do is get to the bit where you pay more money. Unless you are in cahoots with someone that works for EA Games you cant really get past that sort of security.
