I want to allow only licensed ArcMap to use my application, and/or prevent a cracked version of ArcMap from using that add-in application.

EsriLicenseStatus Constant can't control if the version is  cracked. Maybe we can control from ArcGis Administrator Number of Licenses? (For example, stolen ArcMap have a Number of Licenses different than licensed ArcMap.)Is there any information from the system to detect illegal ArcMap copies when installing my add-in?

Help Me

Really?

let me ask you a question...your primary goal is detect illegal license files or make a better Add-In? 

maybe you need focus all your effort in develop the very first Antivirus for ESRI than others apps or extentions.

let ESRI guys do THEIR JOB.

Maybe

But if I get that number of licenses from arcobjects or files  maybe I can control.Because stolen ArcMap have a Number of Licenses different than licensed ArcMap.(For example, stolen ArcMap have a like 666 or 0 number because is stolen)
