Ydnar everything is crackable. Even if you did do something along those lines there would always be a loop hole such as the corporate version of xp where no reg code is needed. There would also be a crack out the minute the software came out. As i said EVERYTHING can be cracked. There is really NO way of protecting software not even silly dongles.

I agree. For every software engineer working on security measures there are 10 software engineers somewhere in the world working on a way around it. But thinking realistically, the amount of people who actually know how to implement a crack is tremendously insignificant compared to the average person who knows merely "point, click, buy software, learn to use it." My theory- the amount of revenue lost by people who make use of cracks is insignificant compared to the net profit of people who purchase legitimate copies.
