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. <snip> 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...
