For your information, some broadband users ip are dynamic ips. So basically limit a specific ip to the use the application isnt such a good idea. 
hock:
The best solution so far that I found on the internet points locking application to specific hard drive serial no. :o
But all things consider, not all applications can use such method.
For example, some applications use online activation or checking, for example one user id and password is limited to one single computer use at anytime. ComputerA login to this applicationA successfully using id_A and password_A, ComputerB login try using this same id and password to login to applicationA, online server check and allow it to login successfully but after it has logout the computerA applicationA first. This method requires an active connected broadband all the time to computers. If broadband go offline, this applicationA cant be use at all.
For all licensing methods, you have to choose the best method suited for your own applications.
