A software key is not enough to stop piracy. Adding DRMS are bad for customers who have to replace computers than have to purchase another license. So, what's the best option? Updates and online registration. Make online registration a must via multiple keys being sent back and forth through emails. Also, have a manditory update from the site after the initial installation. Like there is something missing/required.
If you keep the customer intouch with the developer, they will see less piracy. You will also be able to track your installs and updates to see if there is piracy going on.
