A server compiles a software program with a randomly generated string to produce compiled code. The server also computes a hash of the compiled code to produce a unique identifier for the software program. Upon receiving a request from a user to download the software program, the server generates a transaction for a blockchain that has a transaction identifier and the transaction including a user identifier for the user and the unique identifier. The server embeds the transaction identifier and the unique identifier with the software program, and downloads the software program to a computing device associated with the user.
