My 2 cents for this...

Distribute it with a license, don't cripple it in any way other than a
periodic reminder to register, and use either the PUN or Flash ID (or some
other set of info) to create a registration key/unlock key.

This allows your legitimate users to beam the program to someone else (the
recipient won't get the preferences database, so they will start getting the
registration reminder) .. like someone else said, those that are crackers
and "market" warez are not going to buy it anyway.. it will drive you nuts
trying to outsmart them (unless you're twisted and get a kick out of it like
someone on this forum.. kidding, of course, I kid).

What we weighed here was is it better to (a) try (in vain) to stop someone
from illegally using it who wouldn't buy it anyway or (b) aggravate your
customers who actually paid money and now you are sending them through hoops
to use it because of group a?
