There are an number of software licensing/activation systems available, we use Nalpeiron and have come across so many issues with various system configurations, that I wouldn't dream of trying to develop something like this yourself.

Primarily we use it for online activation, but you can do USB key dongle, phone, email, etc. depending on your exact requirements.
