These systems are among the most developed software systems to protected your application.</p> <p>Nonetheless the experience tells that no only-software protection system is unbreakable and the time taken to hackers to break them is directly proportional to the worth of the protected content.

Not only by the the strength of the encryption method but also and mainly because of the automatic registration system. If you let your customers know that the software activation key is unique per installation/user and that it is stored and matched to user's profile they would think twice about giving away the key+software.</p>
