That's true, although since I suggested encoding the MAC address in
the preference file rather than in the code itself, the "breaking"
would be minimal since the user could just re-enter his code, which
would still work.
Then ... why use this MAC address thing at all?!? "Bad" users just can
give away the license code and everyone else can register with the app,
regardsless of the MAC address. So you can just drop your MAC encoding
thing, it makes no sense anymore if entering the license code is the
only validation.
I think developers spend too much time on those "funky registration
code hiding things", but it's stolen time. Some people will always give
away registration codes to friends. If you app is good and has an
adequate price, there will also be many people who will buy it.
So, in my opinion, we developers should spend more time in developing
great applications, instead of non-working piracy protection things.
