How about a very simple solution like locking the license to the user's computer name. Unless your product is expensive I doubt users will start changing computer names so they can used the application as licensed for a friend's computer. IbExpert (HK-Software) uses this solution and I'm amassed by it's simplicity. Also note: in a LAN environment you can't change computer names any way - computers need to have unique names.
