There isn't a bullet proof licensing system or such for web applications.

About way #1 of yours. You may want to take a look at SOAP and XML-RPC. I think it's easier that way instead of hardcoding your database access credentials into the user's system. Of course, by deleting a couple of lines of code, you are not constrained by anything anymore, but for the legitimate user, that doesn't matter, because he doesn't know how to do it.
