From my point of view you would need two things.
1. A HTTPS WebServer with some kind of Database/SQL and PHP support
2. Modify your apps to be not executable on its own, instead only per Launcher/Loader
Technical aspect is, Launcher offering a registration/login page, that can of course be stored for automatic usage later, on the registration page you offer your service to let people pre-paid their account, that information gets stored on the WebServer Database, now each time user runs an application a specific amount gets cutted from that Database until there is nothing left to cut.
That would be my way of handling such.
All of this can be realized in any programming language since you do just external web calls.
