that is the beauty of the original suggested solution:  you only need send in
a copy of your application.  The serial number or whatever is stuck away in
there somewhere, not only on the master disk or anything.  That S/N is marked
in the publisher's database as "Upgraded," and can't be upgraded again.  He
who sends in that S/N first, wins.  Not the master disk--just the application
containing the S/N.

This would tend to keep people more aware of their applications and whose
hands they're getting into.  Plus, who cares if the USPS loses a disk with a
copy of your application on it?  Just send another copy.
