Twenty-something years ago the Fortune 100 place I worked received a bad licence key update from one of the above companies that resulted in serious production downtime. Suffice it to say that more than one lawyer achieved pleasing billable hours, formal letters flowed in both directions, and a satisfactory agreement resulted, which included among other things a never expiring key. I think in today's climate the vendor would be very lucky to get off as lightly. I think your anti-debugging idea is a very unwise path to go down if you want your product to be taken seriously by mainframe shops.
