Greetings!

Has anyone come up with a decent way to deal with piracy? I'm getting ready to release a commercial application and wondered if there is anyway to stop
someone from just giving it to a friend.

[I would like my application to function off-line. So, doing a look-up via
the web is out.]

Any thoughts, ideas or solutions out there?

Thank you in advance,
Dan

Dan,

I don't think that such method exists. Beware of creating anoying methods for this will just piss up you users. A simple scheme is the serial number tied to an email, if it leaks, at least you'll know who leaked it. I don't think no one will ever be able to enforce good piracy protection, even hardware keys can be cracked. The best practice is be just with your price, create simple serial number scheme. Create quality apps that make people want to buy (Like: "he is such a nice guy, let us help him.")

cheers
