That would enable the piracy pretty much. And the fuss of making new physical copies with each (newly) supported platforms...


Nothing is uncrackable, the only thing preventing cracking of MorphOS or "ilegall" useage of it is the lack of interest in the system beyond hardcore users. As it is now however, the current scheme is preventing some users buying it as they dont like the single machine type of license.

Certainly true. However some effort has been spent in making the cracking quite difficult. Also, being the whole OS rather than a single application certainly makes it harder.

Yes, harder, but not impossible :). Lets be honest, if this was Windows it would be cracked on release if not sooner no matter the protection.

However, using "nothing is uncrackable" as a rationale for removing the protection doesn't quite sound right to me.

Thats all up to you, but in this small market if i wanted to make money on something i would go out of my way to please and make it as easy to use/register/etc as i could for my potential customers.

We might lose some potential users with this hw-tied-keyfile for sure, but at least we avoid rampant piracy. It's impossible to please everyone.

That might be so, but it dosent change the fact that it will be cracked if it ever reaches the interest of enough people and then you are right were you tried not to be with this scheme wich only annoys some of the potential buyers.

All in all its up to you guys to do as you want with your property and users will buy it if they can live with the rules you have set.
