I live in Brazil, if I order Dbpro (or any product that costs more than $50) i have to pay a 60% import tax...(I discovered this tax after I ordered the original DB)
Well, I'm asking if there is going to be an online version of Dbpro (buy and donwload)? For me (and for a bunch of other people here) it would be the only way to buy DBpro. thanks...

DBpro would require a pretty decent security program to help people not steal it - i mean take a look at what happened with the DB one you could download!

Perhaps once the 1.2 upgrade is out which hopefully fixxes most of the core stuff we all use, then maybe the team can look into Microsoft Activation Software or something ...

well it might stop people from stealing(copying) Dbpro for some time but it will also stop buyers like me. I wish there could be another way of buying it...

Just means that the group 'vgr' had cracked and released DBpro to the warez scene on the day of release!

I do, it is pretty easy.

But i never use it for public use...

Seiously, my fisrt hack was into a 30 Day trial of some presentation software, it had run over and totally stopped me using it, with my 30days work still on there.
The work was to be in for the next day (exam work) so i had no choice but to hack it. A quick wizz through the resitry and all is fixed.

But just as a reminder it is illegal and i did in the end buy the key but it did take 2 weeks to be processed and to arrive.

That is basically what hacking it. Data has to be stored somewhere, and can always be changed so no software is ever safe.

I admint i do not know proper hacking, but it is simple in theory.

I went outside once and my FPS rate dropped to 5.

I must add that the only other hacks i have done were on my own servers which i forgot the password to.

And to a fiends supposedly 'hacker proff' server. But that was a competition between me and some mates.

PS, i have stopped using my hacked version of MAX for you Raven (I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT, even if it is expensive )
