A prof I had back in college does a bit of contract work on the side. She learned a trick early on that she employs in every job she does -- self-destruct code.

Be very careful (read: have a good lawyer) with this one. In states that have passed the dread UCITA (the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act), self-destruct code is legal. Your mileage in other states may vary, but could include costly litigation.

If you're not aware of what UCITA is, or how badly it sucks for consumers, see http://www.badsoftware.com/uccindex.htm
