You are totally right, thank you. I verified that the system ID changes whenever I enable or disable an unused LAN port in Windows' device manager.
No, thank you very much. I don't like your home-made challenge response "copy protection," especially considering its brittleness as illustrated by my own experience with it.Nils Schneider wrote:You may want to re-download the demo and you will be happy again
In contrast, LiquidSonics follows a comparatively friendly strategy, with a personalized license file that identifies me as the purchaser, but is not tied to any particular hardware at all. This no-nonsense approach is the primary reason why today I bought their slightly more expensive (60 GBP) Reverberate bundle, and not your plugin.
I imagine that you might not want to throw away all the hard work that went into your "copy protection" code, but I would also hazard a guess that it is costing you more paying customers than it prevents piracy.
