	Getting in on this a little late.  But isn't it possible to program
	your software to read the serial numbers on the say (CPU and/or FPU)
	before the software will function.  Then all you need to do is require
	the purchaser to do is give his/her serial numbers when purchasing the
	software and everyones happy.  They have their software and you have
	a package that is non-copyable to other machines.

	Of course, maybe the idea is stupid.
