Hi Charles, Well, that's a stretch. Usually the license agreement is talking about specifically altering the executable by disassembling it, modifying it, and then reassembling the hacked/cracked version. What these programs do is it looks for the specific blocks of memory where the game's values are stored and then changes them. Say it lookes for health you could then use the cheater to restore you back to 100% health by resetting the value stored at the given memory address. You are altering the game, but only what is stored in memory and not the binary itself. I'm not sure what the legality of these cheater programs are regarding the license agreement. While I personally hate these cheater programs I'm not sure I'd revoke someone's license key because of it. After all they paid for the game, and they aren't actually messing with the game itself in terms of hacking/cracking it. They are just cheating.
