Oh, then sorry, I never gave much thought to it. If you're not afraid
of legal troubles, you could have it silently phone home so you can
know how many apps are in use at any moment. Given the scale of your
app, it should be feasible for you to simply contact users who didn't
pay and kindly ask them to pay.

The fact that pyc files are so easily de-compiled makes app protection
pretty hard...
