Funny that quit doesn't work. On my computer, at least, this does:

close window 1

Try that instead of the quit command.

I started out way back when with a serial number scheme based on the user's name. I was fairly pleased with the algorithm, but I don't use serial number protection any more. If someone's curious, I'll dig it out.
