If you "lightly encrypt" a text string and then use either an undocumented
command line option or a special command (if its for example a game) to cause
the program to print out your banner, you might get just the 007 effect you
are looking for.

Optionally, you could monitor the progress much more easily by just having it
offer your credit card number to the user each 10 times they use the program.
This would provide you a relatively geographic spread each time you got your
bill. :-)
