Hi,
With this sort of request you may want to consider a number of issues in a more structured manner.
I got some mileage out of using the guidance that Sentinel offers on this link:
http://sentinelvideos.safenet-inc.com/UnUe8/how-to-get-software-licensing-right-the-first-time/?key=wgrU12_pd1mqJ6DJm_9nEA==[^]
Please note that I have not chosen Sentinel and are in no way 'related' to their business. I just found the advise incredibly useful. The video is a bit longish and the square root is that you need to know why you're doing it - and make sure you don't annoy your clients overly much.

Best regards
Erik

Try to make use of product key like feature which may be any code generated by you.Give it during installation of software.But for this you have to match your key code in software where key will be hard coded..

For example , store your hard coded key in any dll.Keep it as any variable.In case if you want to upgrade your software then just replace that particular dll.This is for application which is going to work without internet.But if there is an internet connectivity then you can store it in db against your client id

for this condition, you will need connectivity with internet..
So you can check used product key will not be used again for n number of applications.

You have to store all the keys somewhere. may be it could be hard coded, text files or may be in online database.in the installation process you have to check is there another software using the same key of the software.it should be online and all time the software will check any other software using the same key.
