Default HELP! My program was cracked.


I did a search on google and found out there are sites out there that are offering cracks for my program. Somehow these scums got around having to register my program. They must of modifed my executable and now on the screen where the user has to type in their registration code, they can put in anything they want and it will say it registered.

What the heck can I do? How can I get this fixed? Anyone had this problem before?

It is impossible to make your program uncrackable. The best you can do is make it more difficult. If you want more info do a search on this forum, there are many previous threads discussing this.

Of course if any of them have been stupid enough to let slip their name and address then you could sue them, but I doubt it.

Use a different method of registering for your program in a update.


Out of curiosity, what is the name of your program?
