How can you count pirated uses of your software based on the number of cracks available?


What makes you think every pirated use is a lost sales?


I hope you put enthusiasm similar to your hacker prevention efforts into developing a good business model / licensing sheme.



In other words, if I let ld include myEncryptProc's definition in the binary I ship, then any cracker worth his salt can trivially extract the binary for myEncryptProc() and put it in a shiny new utility or serial gen.

How about:

void myEncryptProc () {
#ifdef ENCRYPTION_PASS
  // do encryption
  ...
  return;
#else
  return;
#endif
}
