You can't...  If it's changed then Michael has to change
*all* registration keys as well.  The best probably just
camouflage it somehow.

Who the hell is/are CoRE ?!  And why would they need the
passphrase at all to whipped up a crack? ;-)

Someone posted here, at this *very* list, cca. a year
ago, claimed that he/she found a "very easy" way to crack
Arachne.  I don't think the passphrase fall into that
category.  Unless if what Michael done was just comparing
the key byte by byte.  Nay.. That would be really STUPID!

After all, if the poster was honest, then I guess it would
be safe to assume that there's already a working Arachne
crack out there...  Which for some reason, never made
available to the public...  Even to the underground public
(there are/were some .cz or .sk based websites that offered
various cracks).

Too late, it already been a public secret since this list
was moved to naf.cz majordomo.  IIRC there was a very long
thread about it somewhere at the earlier stage of this list.
Try retrieve majordomo's archives, probably still there.
