I’m coding a desktop application for our university . Users need to signup before using this software and registration request is sent to a server written by me, too. So I’m struggling with kind of network application. ( Suppose that the request format is as simple as a HTTP request sent to an arbitrary port number )
But now I’m wondering whether it’s necessary to protect registration process using CAPTCHA or not? Do I need to ensure that the signup request is not generated by a computer?

    As your application is for a limited user group (your university only), I think you do not need a captcha, because the risk is very low that someone is in this group how wants to annoy you.

    Also scripting for a desktop application is (a bit) more complicated than for web applications, this will decrease the risk, too. IF you are struggling with bot-registrations you could still ship the captcha as an update and only accept registrations from the updated version, don’t you?
