Contest Brief

We are working on a small Application written in Python. It will be running on a Raspberry Pi3 Rasbian. I'd like to make sure that the application will not easily be copied. At least I would like to make it "not worth their while" to do it.
I've heard that there was a USB Dongle system, (KEYLOK DOS NOT WORK WITH PI YET) and also some software protection that will connect to a server for authorization to run. I want the option to offer a subscription for this service to the users so the process of the PI3 connecting to a server might be the way to go. I need to make sure that the Micro SD card is encrypted and will not be able to be copied and used in other Pi3s.
I know that this solution is out there somewhere and no need to re-invent the wheel if there is already a inexpensive way to solve this problem.
I will award the contest to the person who provides the best solution as determined by myself. If more that one person offers the solution to the issue, then of course the person that made the post before the other will win.
The contest will run for 7 days but I may end it as soon as I get a solution that I think will offer adequate protection. Please explain in your submission the reason that you think this is the best solution. Just providing links for me to go out and have to read up on each and everyone is not what I'm looking for,... Thanks,..

To clarify,.. the end user will have access to the settings of the Raspberry Pi3. Any method implemented that could be turned back off in the Settings of the RPI would not work. Also this protection would need to cover the removal of the SD card and copying of the card itself. I also think the method would need to make sure that the SD card will not work unless its on the RPI that it was programmed to work on.
