For Y2K preparation I remember installing a COBOL source scanning program for the application folks. I thought it was interesting for a couple of reasons:

1) It was licensed by the number of source code lines you ran through it, and would just stop until you bought more "lines".

2) After reading through the licensing doc, I got the impression the vendor spent at least as much time designing and coding their protection method as they did on the Y2K scanning portion.
