Hi guys,

I have developed a small software. I want to provide and run it commercially only. I want it to be run in the machines who have purchased it from me.

If someone copies it from my clients computer and runs it in next computer, I would like to stop functioning/running the software.

What can be the ways to prevent the piracy of my software?
