Hi There,

| I make a genealogy application, and I was just googling around for  
| it, and seeing if any blogs where actually talking about it.  I have  
| spent a lot of time on this app, and of course money and such (just  
| like all of you).  I just found a crack for my app that removes the  
| 30 day limit.

In all honesty, there is no such thing as a failsafe copy protection scheme.
Hackers will ALWAYS crack your software if you try to protect it. So don't
protect it.

My *personal* stance is to make a demo version available which has features
completely omitted - no 30 trial, no features that can be "unlocked",
because if that code is not even in the app, there's nothing to hack.
Shareware is a good model, but it's just not safe these days. There are so
many hacker groups trying to out-hack one another that they'll practically
hack *anything*.

Only send out a full version of your software (and protect it with a key
code if you like) to people who have already purchased.

That's the model I'll be using for my applications in future anyway, but
each to their own...

Mark.
