Well, techinically as we've bought licenses and a licence is per-person than we should, legally, be allowed to use a pirate copy, right?

Um.... a crack?!

Last I knew Pb didn't need a crack. Maybe its just a trojan.

*This is a joke*

@Inf0Byt3: If I would be you, I wouldn't inform others that I (you) use a pirated copy of PB

However, you are searching a bit too late, the first PB 4.0 crack came a month after the official release of PB 4.0 .. The crack group was "aRcaDe" or something like that.
I am not saying that I have downloaded the crack or otherwise work for the crack group. In fact, I lastly figured out that PureBasic isn't the right package for me, and therefore I don't code in PB anymore, but I come here to look around in this off-topic forum

What are you using now josku_x - if you don't mind me asking? Just out of curiosity.

I'm now using nothing other than a HEX editor on my Ubuntu box

I'm now not on the EXE side, I am now making websites and JavaScript programs.

And with "this is a joke" I only meant this part of my previous post:

@Inf0Byt3: If I would be you, I wouldn't inform others that I (you) use a pirated copy of PB

But this is a pure fact:

However, you are searching a bit too late, the first PB 4.0 crack came a month after the official release of PB 4.0 .. The crack group was "aRcaDe" or something like that.

The crack group "arcade" really made the first PB 4.0 crack. If you don't believe me, go to google and enter something like this as the keyword: "PureBasic v4.00 winall arcade" you'll get much more to see than only the PB 4.0 crack.

Yeah, i did know that, but the purpose of this post wasn't to inform you about the cracks, but to find a way of stopping it... Oh, and one question: If I download the demo version of PB, since it doesn't use serials or other direct registration methods, how can I modify it to enable the API functions or anything else? I've got a hunch that it's somebody from the inside who distributed copies

Yeah me too. And to stop this is impossible; it could be everyone who submits "cracks" of PB to the net.

Not too impossible, if the purebasic compiler was "watermarked" per registered account, then there's a way to see who the leak is.

Someone would just remove the watermark. It's been tried before.
