The system you use, is as far as I can see, the best compromise 
reached in protecting software, and still make it easy to use.
The fact that the license can be moved between machines, by 
the user without having to cantact you is a life saver. If a USB
flash stick could be used, in stead of a floppy, it would be
nice. (Many of our newest machines does not have a floppy drive anymore)
The only problem I have found, was that your software does not warn
one, when one uninstalls it, without having moved the license to a
floppy.
