OSX has no serial codes to check. To require that would go against Apple's core idea of making software as easy to use as possible. Entering a 32 character, alpha-numeric serial code is not easy for say, your grandma. (Or at least, alot of grandma's) And those are the types of people apple tries very hard to reel in.
Alot of games require a serial because they can get away with it. Most gamers are more power-users.
Alias can make people go through insane loops to register their software because they are a giant selling software to professionals.

Weird...then wtf was he doing to his OS system?

There are companys (no names) that accept piracy because if people use their stuff in private, they demand it in business. Professionals don't steal software because it's too risky. There's a certain OS that became popular that way. Fishy fishy come here.

It could have been a computer problem, but it installed fine (it said) and then asked for a restart. It shutdown and then wouldn't start back up...I laughed at him for trying to pirate system software.

I don't know what was wrong with your friend's update, but it wasn't because he pirated it.

I admit it.. I one tried to get a lugaru crack. I didn't get it, I bought lugaru in the end but lugaru is punishing me now by going at 1 FPS.. (Not JK!)

You're seriously playing Lugaru at 1 frames per second?

Holy Fuck...

It's ok now, just needed reinstall.

Back to topic

You could then still pay via snail mail or PayPal.
Edit: Nevermind, post before has been deleted (had an url to a serial site in it).

whoops. Forgot that that equals bad.

Alias' software is literally imposable to crack. If someone were to crack Maya for instance, they'd mind as well write their own software ! But Lugaru Serial #s work on infinite computers. Buying it would basicly be cracking it, because then you'd just have to post it on the net... and stuff... so, yah.

Maya, 3dsmax and such use a dongle to secure their software, isn't it? I've heard about a crack for 3dsmax that simulates this dongle. That's crazy.

HEY, anti crack measures, here, this is how you make it difficult, (although it means all buyers of lugaru gett a CD) A cd check, so you need to insert the CD, thats the easiest to crack, But then, you do a Built in CD check, so INGAME before starting any maps it checks for the CD. Similar to Battlefield 1942. They did very well at preventing crackers. I myself have a LEGIT copy of that game, because the battlefield series is the best damn series ever. anyho, This ingame cd check is hard to crack, I wouldnt know how to crack but from what i hear thats the truth.


haha this topic, there are some people riding awfully close to the illegal line, like invertin. hehehe.

dude, you could just dl a disk image of the game. I mean, I loaded my starcraft cd onto my laptop so I wouldn't have to carry it around, it's not hard to do at all...

Maya has been cracked actually..

That rarely works with newer games.
