A retraction: From the documentation (quoted below), the user can
apparently run modified code anyway ...
"It is not a digital rights management (DRM) or copy protection
technology. Although the system could determine that a copy of your
program had not been properly signed by you, or that its copy
protection had been hacked, thus making the signature invalid, there
is nothing to prevent the user from running the program anyway."
I have nothing that needs any real copy protection, so I have not
used this technology. This is one aspect of it that I had not
realized. :-( My apologies for the noise.
My earlier statement about "impossible to crack" is 100% accurate,
however. :-)
