hi gordon,

are you serious..? you want to protect your software
with a generated key..?

well, let's say it like that, after a key-protected
software has been distributed you can find for it after **few**
hours serialnumbers and key-generator tools on the net..so that want
be very effective..

another kind of protection are for example functionally-limitations
of the software..one of my favorite one is for example to make a 
programm only runable if it's installed on a cd, so than you can
distribute ONLY this cd..

as far as i know cd's have unique factory/manufactory -serial
that can't be reproduced (similar to a MAC-number of the networkcard..)

maybe you could choose this solution..
