This article analyzes the existing problems on the software protection of the intellectual property rights.To figure out the lack of restriction on copies and the defects in auto-control on multi-edition, an new effective method named license-based solution is put forward, which is based on the hardware mark and sub-license.In this solution, the hardware mark is used to answer the restriction on unique copy, and the sub-license is used to solve the auto-switching from one version to another.If only the software owners could control the issuance of their license availably, they would effectively master the transition from a demonstration edition to an official edition and the switching among the varied versions. ;;;
