How about storing the key on a remote server ? When you need it you connect to it get it. Or extending on this idea; you could store the key on a remote server, when you need to authenticate you call the authentication code on the remote server side and have it spit back a bool (true = user is authenticated / false = user need to try again). I haven't actually implemented this but in theory it should work.

I can put the key in registry and read it on runtime but that's not safe either. Any other ideas?
