Jake, One possibility is to encapsulate some critical functionality into a Java class file which is required by your application and to use that class file as part of the page rendering process in such a way that commenting out the code to access that class file breaks the rest of the application. Unwieldy and I hope someone has a better solution but that is the only way off the top of my head I know to do this.

Not at all what I'm trying to do. What I'm trying to figure out is how he's gone about making this something that isn't defeated by simply commenting out a line of code. I'd like to do whatever he's doing with my application too. Something were the application is free to download and use, but in order to get rid of my default branding, a user would have to input a registration code (that they paid for). On the surface it seems like a simple process - but every idea I can come up with can be defeated simply by finding the branding (or included files with the branding in them) and commenting them out of the code. Is there a more "unhackable" way to do this? I bring up the Web Wiz Forums example because he seems to be doing it, but I can't figure out how's he's doing this.
