Just want to point out that the problem you're trying to solve is one
of licensing and legal contract, not software. No system is
unhackable. Also, having a skilled user who can help you with
troubleshooting being locked out of doing so does you no good in the
long run. The very people you seek to protect your IP from are the
ones who can help you the most with bug fixes and reporting.
