With you so far..

Quote: a challenge-response system that downloads a unique binary and replaces certain components via a binary patch would get precisely the same results without giving a hacker code to enable (to 'crack' the shareware version if you will).

Then you can only expose the 'free' version to the world, that 'magically' upgrades itself to the correct version.
