I think WaltonSimons only expressed himself improperly...

With simple copy protections - that only need a few bytes to be changed for a no-CD patch -, the following can be done:
1. Compare the original EXE of version X with the unprotected EXE of version X and make notes of where (code around) and what (in concept, not actual bytes) the differences are.
2. Find the same code fragments on the original EXE of version Y (Y > X) and apply the same changes there.
And, yes, it works most of the time.
