Whatever solution you find, be mindful of how it impacts the bottom line. It's easy to spend more on protection against theft, than you could lose from a theft.

It could be impossible to make it completely safe from theft, but it can be made difficult and as you say - your customers have little knowledge of computers. I have had a customer actually pay a hacker to steal my software, I caught them at it and a letter from the legal team was all I needed. I caught it because I had legitimate remote access.

Can you encrypt the model and make your software temporarily decrypt it at the point of inference? This might make the model useless in isolation.
