David,
I protect my app by site exactly as your earlier message specified ie by
site code and expiry date.
The method that I use in the .exe is
    load the alpha site code and the expiry date into an array of bytes
    do some systematic manipulation at byte level
    return a character by character unlock code fron the resulting Byte
array.

This has proved quite adequate for my needs.
Mark
