There is a sure fire way to protect software. If it is worth it's salt,
it will not need protection. Anyone who will resort to cracks, will not
buy the software anyway. So there is no lost sale. There are enough
honest people in the world to make a good piece of software sell itself.
AND, there is NO software that cannot be cracked. The harder
the challenge, the tastier the target. So, why bother.
AND, there is "no value added" in going to elaborate protection
schemes. It's an interesting intellectual challenge, but offers no
large rewards.
FINALLY, the last protection scheme that I would use is one where the
full details of it's operation is published for the world to see....
