ZINC lets you get the machineID of the computer you are running on in one call. We match this against an expected machineID written to a licence file during installation. (The licence file has a checksum). If they don't match, then you can catch it. If you are only selling the application once, or limited times, and can do the installation yourself this should be a pretty good casual protection. If you are selling lots, then you have to add an additional way to stop the installation being run more than once. And so the layers start going on!
