I like the idea of pre-generated keys. It seems like a good in-between
method. If your user then registered their key and someone else
subsequently tried to register the same number you would have some
recourse. I don't want to get bogged down in lots of administrative
hassles, so I like this method. Does anyone have suggestions about
setting up something like this? And a method for verifying the key? I'm
no mathematician by any means, unfortunately! Perhaps there is a key
generator program, though I looked around and couldn't really find
anything (other than non-Rev code). I'd prefer a Mac program but I have
XP running in Parallels if there's a Windows only offering.
Any help, tips, leads?

"Completely free of copy protection" is very different from the
industry-standard per-user license keys I described, and not something
I would advocate for any commercial product.
In markets where piracy is an unusually serious consideration,
server-based activation can provide reasonable control over license
key redistribution. If smartly implemented with grace periods, "phone
home" activation should pose no inconvenience to the end-user.
But most successful products don't even do that, they merely use
pre-generated keys. Per-user license keys have made Adobe, Microsoft,
Apple, and most other software vendors quite profitable.
