You may be right about the patching of Windows executables. I thought they'd be tough to patch until I saw an advert yesterday for a $99 disassembler / hot-patcher for Windows executables. It didn't say it handled Win32s / WinNT executables, so I guess I might have a three-month windows before they can handle those, too. No, I don't think the Schreiber scheme gives the same security as a dongle. I think it's less secure. But since I don't keep an ear to the ground in pirate circles, I have no idea if their scheme has ever been cracked. I hear they have a BBS that grants keywords. Is that true?
