Copyright protection is automatic, however you may want to register your copyright in case of dispute in the future.

They charge a small fee, but it's probably worth it if you're selling your software commercially

does the program software have to be a unique produvct to be able to liscence it? kind of a dumb question i know, but there are programs that do the stuff that i want to do but is not effivient and i think i can improve it?

Thanks for your help so far, have been looking through them!

Well, provided the code is all your original code, then there shouldn't be any problems. However, if you used code from another project, you have to make sure you comply with their license.
