Thread Subject: Software lock

What would be the best way to lock software from illegal use? Iam thinking of developing a way for software lock system. The system may work in the following way. It first generates a random sequence when the software is installed from some parameters of the computer. Then, the random sequence has to be generated to me to generate a key for converting the software into full version. Every time the software is installed some parameters is made changed from within the program. Please suggest your valuable comments on the possibility of developing such a software lock system. Also, please let us know the merkatability of such a software lock system in the market in general and in the MATLAB community in particular.
