The problem with most "Security" systems you can buy is that they
often cause instabilities, slowdowns and malfunctions on your
customers pc's, and you'll be unable to rectify them. As these systems
are a prime target for hackers, their main selling point about being
better against real hacking attempts are invalid.
For Securing your investment, there's only three factors to evaluate:
1. How will regular customers be handicapped or disturbed by these
measures
2. How much time (respectively money) do I need to implement and
support the security solution
3. How easy will casual copying be
Unfortunately many developers still think in terms of prohibiting
hacking, which is similar academic as trying to stop spam from
reaching your openly shown e-mail address.
As for a recommendation, You could calculate a unique identifier,
which is sent to you via the web once. Alternatively you can check for
a certain file being on the CD. If you can make unique files onto
them, then you could connect a unique number with the CD, similar to a
dongle. But most customers only have one, maximal two CD or DVD
drives, so they'll be greatly dissatisfied with any solution that
constantly needs a CD inserted (Factor nr. 1).
Have Fun
