Well it would be a server side check. But even a rudimentary IP address check would be fine to ensure one connection at a time.

It is all a bit odd I have to admit.

Aside from barring users who are legitimately sharing a connection (and not even pirating your app)...

How does this actually solve the problem? Pirates are really unlikely to be colocated with the person who let them have an illegal copy of your app.
