Everything is crackable.

There was once this version of Cubase 5.1 a audio/midi sequencer, very popular among musicians.

People from H2O cracked it. It was protected by a USB dongle.

They used 1500 manhours for it. And most of the time was not in the program itself, figuring out when it called the dongle, but on how windows handled the dll's to communicate with it.

Eventually they wrote their own dll as software-matic dongle.

They also said that it was the only version they would crack, because of the many hours they needed to do it.

Wait, that’s not quite how it goes . . . hmm . . .
