If you wrote a really expensive (>=500$) AND valuable software, use a DONGLE to protect it. It is the only acceptable and working (works if payed, does not work if pirated, difficult to crack) method. If you coded just ONE MORE archiver, painting prog, simple office, PDF-creator, CD-writer, etc. : release it as freeware, or shareware with legal unpayed personal usage, as for ex. XNVIEW.
