That's the conclusion I've come to after thinking about this all day. 
But keeping a file on the server pretty much ruins the copy protection. 
All anyone has to do is copy the program and its data files, and then it 
will work when accessed from another computer -- even if the "server" 
that holds the copied app isn't registered. The client will think it is.

So that leaves me wondering where to put such a file. It has to be a 
place that allows full read permissions for remote computers, but can't 
be found or copied easily. I don't think there such a place, but I'd 
settle for something "good enough" at this point.

I'm looking into ADS now for that type of storage. What do you think 
about that? Will it cause my app to be flaggged as a virus?
