You might want search on the net related to licensing mechanism some of the important things you might want do are - Selecting hardware PC id for unique identification of the machine e.g hdd serial number,dongle, or even some network card ID [depends on your need] - you should maintain a increpted license file with the product - you should store your pc id in this file and other any related info, which you should use to validate the license of the product rest you should think on your self!!

Why not use a commercial ready-to-use system like CryptoLicensing? Will save lots of time by allowing you to focus on your own software.
