Well I checked the EXE and its been Packed with Petite, im not sure what version..I guess the latest, ive been workin on unpacking it but its tough, there is no anti debugging software protection just the packed PE (portable Executable) so its a matter of unpacking it and dumping the image then rebuilding it and fixing the Import tables etc, its something ive been trying to do for about 2 weeks, ive done it with Safedisc (using tutorials etc) but this is tougher. anyway, as far as I know the protection is "Petite" packing the exe. I have heard some ppl have made perfect 1:1 copies of it , i guess it depends on your burner and software.
hope i have helped ya in some way dude.
keep on CrAcKiN!!!

Petite is NOT a cd authenticating protection mechanism. It WONT stop you backing up a cd.
It merely compresses the app and stops it from being dissassembled.
The question is obviously what is being used to authenticate the cd. If folks are struggling to backup, it could well be a commercial system like safedisc2 or securom2.

Just use Clony or similar on your cd to see what the protection is, and then re-post so we can give some help.

@darkcluster
