Thank you ezekg, I appreciate your privacy policy ( We believe in the GDPR and increased privacy for everyone. )

I will try to look more into it if something can be cooked up without the requirement of a server or service. Otherwise might go ahead with something like this.

No problem. I’m big on privacy myself, so my business is also. If you don’t want to use a third-party and/or server, and you’re able to get the device fingerprint upfront, you could generate signed license keys [0] with an embedded fingerprint so that it only works on certain devices. Though that would mean a new device would need a new license key.
