What you should do is track your installs but don't enforce. Then you can enforce later if you need to...but you can nag more effectively because you can show the value you bring (since they have like 50 installs). That said, most licensing checks are simplistic and can be bypassed easily. I mean, this code: if (licensed) then activate=true is relatively easy to find and patch around by a motivated individual. A better way would be to use a key from your key server to encrypt/decrypt their configuration, like with TOTP. But you still would have to make sure they didn't just bypass your encrypt/decrypt code.
