Re: SecuROM copy protection and Rev
Does anyone have any experience of employing Rev executables on CDs protected with Sony's SecuROM process - i.e. Does it work? No direct experience. However a quick Google search reveals that (I'm not going to post the Google search for obvious reasons) that it's no more secure than any other protection system. If a programmer can write the algo to protect a cracker can prepare the tools to bypass it given the motivation and time to do so. See a recent article I did for the Rev newsletter and I'll be adding a follow-up that takes it a bit further in the future.

Scott Kane Hi Scott, The SecuROM copy protection has been requested by a client so that's the way we have to go. We've used SecuROM with Director applications before without any problems but they (Director apps) are 'officially' supported within the encryption process. 'Standard' Windows and Mac apps are supposed to work just as well but you never know. I just wondered whether anyone had a actually used the process with Rev standalones.

As long as the standalone isn't modified you should not have to many problems.

Scott Well, according to their documentation the executable is modified somehow (there is a desktop tool available for modifying Windows executables but you have to send Mac apps away to some dudes in Austria), which is why I'm curious.

You'll have to experiment. I've had zero success wrapping Rev standalones.
