And while it's easy enough to generate another code on your own, you don't know how long that will last. The reason why I find this amusingly effective, is that it means there's no way for end-user-pirates to know if the pirated code they've received is valid or not. I don't recall if it allows you to save or not, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
If it fails any of those random checks, which seem to be able to happen at any time - although most are event generated, the program will immediately notify you that you're using an invalid number, and force the program to quit. Apparently there's a large number of checks within the program to validate the number. etc, to find those.īut most importantly, there's absolutely no indication after you enter the code that the code is invalid. took me no more than 2 minutes of rapid key.delete. Take, for example:īEE850-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX => even incomplete serials are accepted.
Heck, you are guaranteed to find an acceptable serial number. A large number of serial numbers are accepted. Line wrapping setup for quickly changing between 80 char and window width.)īut mostly, this post was written because was (and still am) amused (in a good way) by their anti-piracy measures. (bigger, less icons on the window that you can't make smaller (does not follow MacOS X GUI guidelines.?! ctrl-click doesn't offer options to do text-only, etc.). Actually, it's a beautiful piece of work, or at least used to be - it's relatively simple to use, but packs just about everything you might need, although there's been recent changes to the GUI that I dislike. There's an interesting piece of software out there for Mac called BBEdit.
