a lot of people have noticed that their copy of live stops working after a while and suddenly states that a security error has occured. re-installation isnt an option as something in the registry prevents it. there is a reason for this.
It's called "Fade" the new trend in copy protection.
You make your software easy to crack with techniques crackers are used to
using. Then you include a 2nd layer of copy protection that takes months to
kick in. Because of the time delay crackers have real trouble testing their
crack against a fade and won't know the crack hasn't worked for quite some
time.
devolpers have been using this in the gaming world for quite some time now so it was ineveitable to spill over into the music software industry.
i'm just glad this was one piece of software that i was willing to pay for.
