I know this is not what you want to hear, but IMO the popular way to 
protect software is to provide a good product with good sup****t and to 
trust your customers.

Require me to enter my name and a lengthy serial number at installation 
time is about as far as I would want to go. I should still be able to 
copy that executable to a new machine without having to go through that 
process.

On the other hand, I think the most popular way to license 'software' 
nowadays is Apple's Fairplay (installed base of over 2*10^9). That is 
only available for iTunes music, though.
