Solve : need help on licence issue? |
|
Answer» Hi all, I need this software for my project for masters degree If this program is so critical to you- you should consider buying it. We will not assist in using a trial program past the time period intended by the developers. Is this the same one - http://down.cd/info_2975.htmlQuote can i use the same for longer time by changing the date from bios setting This guy's doing a masters? What kind of Master's Degree are you getting that requires you to have 10,000 to 11,000 Euro program just to complete a project? I sure a really big salary comes with that degree.I hope I never have to cross a bridge which you designed.

For EVERY commercial application there is a functionally similar freeware version. the roadblock is... OMG... LEARNING the freeware tool, since the vast amount of difference are often found in the User interface itself... Just look at blender compared to 3ds max. Downloading and using pirated software for yourself is one thing, but distributing it onto a companies PCs (the automotive company, in this example) is not exactly a good idea. In all likely-hood they are expecting your solution to solve their problem, AND NOT put them in legal hot-water if it ever get's discovered. Even despite all this- "hyperworks" is a CAE program. there ARE freeware CAE programs, so saying you NEED this particular program is LIKE saying you need to use word for a document, which is utter nonsense. Almost every commercial software program has at least 1 freeware alternative that would be MUCH BETTER to use, especially when results are being given to a company (do you really want the company to know your pirating thousands of dollars worth of software? Probably not. And as I said they likely prefer NOT to get into any legal troubles down the road.

Enthusiast pirating is one thing (lol, look at me justify myself...)- but if it's putting somebody ELSE unknowingly into a legal pickle it's merely lack of professional ethics.Quote from: salimskhan on February 03, 2009, 05:03:29 AM i have written a code for key generation and i hope this will crack the software Adding to what BC said, a program that costs €10000 isn't going to be cracked into that easily. What kind of code generation have you? Rainbow tables? Even these can take years to work.I am sure he made it up about writing a crack. There is a forum I sometimes visit called Risks Digest, and a recurring theme on there is how modern "engineers" just use, and blindly trust software apps where previously they used their heads. Quote from: kpac on February 03, 2009, 05:26:25 AM Adding to what BC said, a program that costs €10000 isn't going to be cracked into that easily. Actually- the whole "product key" stuff is quite easy to workaround/generate - But programs of that price often implement on-line activation, and a whitelist of product keys that they have assigned to various legal purchasers of the program (perhaps with IP addresses) so even if it's possible to generate a valid Product key that the program recognizes, upon confirming this with their server it would epically fail. It would require a lot of effort to remove any such PROTECTIONS without some goofy use of the HOSTS file and setting up a web server that will spoof the activation server of the company in question. Of course they would then likely need to workaround any protections built into the product to detect such stupid ideas- such expensive programs are generally not easy to dissasemble, if even understand. In short- I doubt his XOR decryptor will do much good... LOL Quote from: Dias de verano on February 03, 2009, 05:32:33 AM Im sure he made it up about writing a crack. like I said Quote from: BC_Programmer on February 03, 2009, 05:34:46 AM Actually- the whole "product key" stuff is quite easy to workaround/generate - But programs of that price often implement on-line activation Some cheap ones do that. UltraEdit32 for example. Copies registered with bad serials get disactivated. I daresay there are a Host of ways around it, but I paid for mine (of course).

There is a forum I sometimes visit called Risks Digest, and a recurring theme on there is how modern "engineers" just use, and blindly trust software apps where previously they used their heads. Engineers who can only use ***one*** software app are PARTICULARLY scary.

Editpad Pro is another example of clever activation policies. The neat part is it can be installed to a portable drive and run from there on any machine- but copying it from the drive to the machine itself will fail. In my case- I reformatted my drive and it said I was on an evaluation period, (and I never registered to begin with, but I won't delve into that here) I finally fixed the problem by using a disk editor to modify the drive serial number back to the old one (which I luckily found in an old rerouted DIR of that drive). Of course, such a method only worked with the hacked executable itself, rather then the official distribution from JGSoft. These days I use Textpad though. Far less hassle.Topic Closed. I hope he makes it...although i won't hold my breath. |
