software licencing

[Stephen Adler]

As much as I hate the idea, the company I'm working for wants to protect 
their software IP through
a licensing facility. Is there such a thing as an open source licensing 
facility? Basically I want
my software to be able to call a routine which tells it that its 
authorized to execute on the system
its on. Are there any companies selling this kind of software? I need it 
to run on windows and Linux.

Cheers. Steve.
