Does anyone have any good material on licensing and/or keycode strategies?
Specifically, I'd like to have my application functionality "expire" unless
a user is registered with our website.

Thanks!
 
If you want to create your own licensing code try this article, it is a very good snapshot of how to implement license keys and details the pitfalls which can occur when generating and checking the keys

It is not hard to convert the code from VB6 to C# and run under .NET CF. You can use this license key to lock software to a single device (based on name), set expiry dates or restrict the software to specific maximum version numbers
