Please don't take this the wrong way, but where is the level of trust with the customer? I don't mean to decry what you are attempting, but...
The customers (clients, whatever) I work with (for, whatever) and I have a relationship that allows me to simply tell them it is for four locations and trust that they will not use it for more than that without discussing it with me.
If I didn't have that level of trust with them, I suspect the problems would go beyond the number of locations. There would be "nitpicking" issues of what was or was not in the contract, what is and is not an acceptable level of performance, etc.
If I couldn't trust them to adhere to the terms I'm not sure I would want to do the job. That's easy for me to say, of course, being semi-retired and not really needing the work. Just offering food for thought.

if the servers running the software are on static IPs maybe you could have a database that stores the ips and have the script check the database to see if its IP is allowed to server the data. you would have to use zend guard of ioncube like was mentioned earlier but with a php application i would say that there isnt a real good way to prevent the person running it from distributing it anywhere they want....
