How could a cracker get past this? The government uses public-private

That's the thing: they probably wouldn't go the route of trying to figure
out your keys.

So how would they do it? They couldn't just create their own registration
without knowing the keys, and if some cracker bought a copy, then distributed
the encrypted form, it would'nt work because the serial number(s) wouldn't match.
In any case, if they bought an unlimited license that didn't check the serial, I
would be happy enough just to get whatever huge amount of money I'd charge.

Thanks,
