I am going to offer customers a month to month fee for using an
application. After a time of non-payment I want to disable the
application until they catch up payment or decide not to use it any
more. I would like the application to call a key located on my web site
that would return a status

Where I work -they do it slightly different - although - I think its
kinda strange. They have some kinda code that generates a new coded
number each month - and this is for people that Lease the system. So -
each month - they must call our office and ask for the coded number - to
continue to us

Hey Jeff,
Did you write the activation program yourself or download it off the web? I
have to tackle that same issue in the next month and any shortcut would
assist :-)

The thing I would worry about is that the website is not available when the
customer tries to activate and his system goes down.

Kind of like an issue I have now with a poker simulation program I have. I
purchased it a while ago, and have a valid key for it - but after wiping my
notebook and reinstalling it I find that the company appears to have closed up
shop; their website is gone and the program can no longer valida
Lou: I have thought about that. If I go out of business and no one is
taking on my customers they all get their source code and the activation
code routine. It's all in a safe place with instructions for someone to
carry it out.

Mike,
I think the best solution is an automated web solution with a phone
option as a backup (in case a user needs to use the software while
traveling or disconnected).
The phone approach gives you the option of recording your conversation
with the customer (with their prior approval, of course)

I would be willing to bet that any customer too cheap to pay a $4K bill
isn't going to hire a lawyer.
