Anti-piracy of Models

I am a consulting company, and want to ensure that certain user-defined functions only run on Analytica copies owned by my client. Thus, I embed this line in the function:

 if AnalyticaLicenseInfo("PurchaserID")<>3197 
 then Error("This model is only licensed to run at Acme Inc.");
 { function body follows }

Where 3197 is my clients' purchaser ID. I then use "Hide Definition" (from the enterprise edition) and distribute a locked copy of the model.
