Can someone recommend a software product (OS X compatible) to prevent software piracy, authorize applications, set demo expirations, etc.....

I'm looking for something that is relatively straight forward .... hopefully with a onetime purchase cost... as opposed to something where I need to pay royalties every time I use it.

I have a small business and am having difficulty finding a nice and economical method to protect and control my software when I distribute it to the end user.....

Thanks

How about The Licenser Kit?

It is royalty free.

They sell it for $1995 (US), which, depending on what you use it for, could be overkill, or just right. The royalty free stuff is always going to be more expensive up front, too.

You're better off rolling your own protection scheme. Using a third-party one means that once a hacker manages to figure out how to crack one app that uses that third-party scheme (and if the scheme's been around for a while, they probably already have), he knows how to crack all apps that use that scheme, including yours.
