first of all, congrats on the upcoming release! always exciting! 🙂

the AE sdk provides no means of licesing. it's entirely up to you.

i can't recommend any sdk for that, becuase i use my own licensing mechanism. however, if you distribute through aescripts.com then they provide the end-to-end licensing tech.

the one thing to note about AE, is the use of PF_OutFlag2_OUTPUT_IS_WATERMARKED, to tell AE how to differentiate a watermarked from a clear frame in it's cache.
