QLM, for both the OSX and PC versions of our product. QLM is web-based, but also handles off-line licensing via a generated file. Our product can be used in demo mode (no saving, limited editing, reports printed with a 'demo' watermark) indefinitely, time-limited demo mode, a basic function mode and a full operation mode. The last three modes are handled via information encoded into the customer's activation key which is then decoded in the application, and acted upon.
Previously - on PC, there was no Mac version at that time - the 'licensing' was encoded in an INI file which users worked out they could share. QLM has eliminated this kind of 'dumb' piracy, and via the application and logged attempts we can see if people are trying to activate the application on multiple PCs or Macs and so forth.
Next step is to get automatic license key generation working via Paypal payments. I can't really think of any features that we are missing with QLM.
