But honestly, if your progam is that desirable any low level hacker could
crack it in short order which buys you nothing but annoyed customers who try
to do it legally.

One of the most common use for cracks is not pirating software, but to get
around annoying protection schemes like you are proposing on legally
purchased software.

Sorry.. but it will not work.
