Preventing piracy with distribution of .net apps

I am looking for info/books/websites on methods to secure your
distributed code from being pirated. When I say pirated, I guess I
mean a way to prevent someone from buying a cd off me and then
installing on many machines. Something along the XP lines would be
good where each installation can be differeniated from the next
install. Any ideas or pointers?

My main concern is that the company I am selling software to may rip
me off and not pay me my royalties. :-)
