So tell me (us) if I have this correct:

*Basically*, your app exists on removable media and the licensing (which I'm 
assuming means your app is at least less functional if not licensed) needs 
to be "valid" regardless of what computer that specific removeable media is 
attached to.

Is that close? If so, that's really kind of a bizarre licensing scheme. And 
if that's close, I do actually have some rough ideas. But obviously don't 
know if they'd suit your needs. Before presenting them, I'd like 
confirmation that I'm understanding your situation (because otherwise, 
they're moot ideas).
