@0 0 7: I understand your concerns over limits of activation, but those limits are what you agreed to when activating the game.

I just think any game that doesn't employ physical copy protection has no place being discussed in this forum as it does not prevent you from making a working back up, this is not the case where physical copy protections are employed like Securom, Safedisc, Starforce, Tagès etc on DVD!!

How do the mods feel about this topic of discussing cracks for online activated games?

No! Right now, I have the box in my hands - there is not one single word about the online activation!

This is nothing personal against you 0 0 7, i'm only talking about games software using activation technology, not the people that use it so please don't get the wrong idea I'm bashing YOU, i'm not. The mods will put a stop to that if they feel I'm out of line.

There should be reference to activation in the EULA or at least the Readme, and you'll definitely know it has activation when you run the program.

And I'm led to believe you're allowed to make a backup of the software anyway, so that shows it's not got any physical copy protection. It's the same reason why cracks to bypass serial activation or Steam activation are not allowed, there's no physical copy protection so there is nothing to crack!

Hopefully the mods will decide whether to keep this topic open or not, and whether to allow online activation cracks to be dsicussed.

There is no need for this crack!

Well, online activated games are already mentioned in forum rule #1, although in a different context: "digital download" games...
