the main exe is protected with Safedisc 1.50.20, you can unwrap it easily with unsafedisc 1.5.5 or Safedisc Annihilator 1.1.

safecast can be used in several ways:
- trial period: you can only use the program for a limited number of days. after the expiration, you cannot use it anymore (until you clean sector 32 of your hard drive )
- product activation after transaction: before you can use the product, you have to purchase for it.
- product activation after cd-check.

mechwarrior 4 uses the last one. during installation of the mech paks, it checks the cd-check by executing a program inside CDAC21BA.DLL (protected with Safedisc 2.51.2x). if cd-check successful, it installs a licence file.

every time you run the MW4 exe (even the Safedsic cleaned one) it checks for that licence file. if valid, the mech paks can be selected. if not, ... uhm, you cannot select them
