it's enough to hide the watermark in the instruction execution flow or in the data structure to create an almost impossible to un-watermark program, but there are hundred different ways to software watermark a program. Watermarking if properly done is one of the most efficient protection strategies (of course you must assume, like for IDA, that users can be threatened removing their licenses, if you catch their leaked copies on the net): it's easy to implement and doesn't complicate development, it's quite difficult to completely remove it.

you mentioned that you are a paid user of IDA Pro.
Which version do you have, and is it the standard or Pro one?

Because I tried to buy a license for IDA and the only option they offer for private persons is the a "IDA Pro Standard Base Named license"
