This *heavily* depends on your algorithm. If you generate a key from the user’s name and email address, then the probability is equal to 0 that a legit and a generated serial number will collide. > In other words, it's not about how crackable it is, but limiting the > damage that crackers can cause.

And I don’t know if recommending a framework to prevent piracy is a good advice at all. I’m not against any framework, but a self-baked solution would be more unique and require more effort to crack—under the assumption that you have enough knowledge and time.
