I always just create a virtual number through my CC, set the maximum to $1, and have it expire within a couple months. Works like a charm.
If you don't have a card that allows that, you can also buy a prepaid card, though I believe such cards may have distinctive numbers and it's possible a vendor may disallow.
I am not quite sure why people don't grasp that it's an annual plan for really expensive software.
