Can my software be hacked if I use Serial Key Maker?

By "hacked", we mean "can someone use the full featured version of my software without paying for it". Unfortunately, the answer is yes, no matter what protection scheme you adopt, no matter how expensive, or how inconvenient you make it for your users. If you make your software useful to your users, hackers will use that to break into your software.

My opinion, shared by many other ISV’s is that our goal should not be to eliminate hacking of our software. To attempt to do so would be way too expensive, would alienate our legitimate users and would be futile in the end.

Rather, we should aim to make illegitimate use of our software undesirable by placing simple security measures in place (to keep honest people honest), and to provide suitable incentives to purchase our software (features, functionality and support).

Serial Key Maker is the lock on the door. It is effective at keeping honest people out. It gives you options to distribute demo versions of your software, and then converting those users into full paying customers with very little effort or pain on their part.

Can Serial Key Maker be hacked?

Again, yes. People with enough time on their hands can, and probably will, reverse engineer Serial Key Maker. I have accepted this as reality in the software world. However, I have also come to accept that what I am more concerned about is getting honest and reputable users to pay for my product; to give them the option of downloading and evaluating my software, and then accessing the fully function version of it.

I want to keep the honest people honest by using a suitable lock on the door. Serial Key Maker does that for me.

In fact, Serial Key Maker uses Serial Key Maker to generate and enforce serial keys!
