I'll second swiss idea, there should be a protection, but one that doesn`t leave the paying customer in a worse position than the pirate!!!
SH5's protection was cracked pretty fast and produced the situation named above.
Something like Windows has, with a check for every update and a secondary check for stolen keys on the package would sound good to me.
