Right now, NOTHING - that is why I TRULY need some guidance! I know that the registration process, like so many other factors, can heavily influence the success of a new software release, and I do not have the time/money to 'try out' several different technologies and strategies to see which one works best!
Another thing to consider is that there is no cracker-proof registration scheme. Keeping that in mind, you have to balance the choice based upon:

- how much time and effort you have to put into making the registration scheme good.
- how difficult you make it for the user as a side effect of the registration scheme.

I think Kagi and eSellerate offer particularly good services because they handle the ecommerce and side of things for you (a huge time saver) and offer a variety of serial number generation schemes.

A particularly easy one to implement is to use a message digest (SHA, or MD5) of a string that can be generated at run-time to compare with the the user's digest key.
