I'm not sure if I understand the exact need here, but a few very effective
techniques for keeping users from making unauthorized copies of software
are: 

1. If the software is on a local hard drive, use MacTools (I use version
1.2) FileEdit and click the "Protect" box on anything you don't want
copied. This technique won't stop people who have their own copy of
FileEdit, but it certainly stops Finder copying. 

2. If the software is on a Netware file server, use the CopyInhibit flag.
Perhaps other systems such as Appleshare Server and Banyan Vines can do
this too, but I don't use them, so I don't know. 

3. Use Keyserver from Sassafras Software. This product provides copy
protection (you can copy the programs, but they won't run on other Macs
unless you provide an authorized key). It also provides license control
by allowing you to limit the number of launches (keys) for any program.
Obviously most useful for a networked environment.
