Re: How can I complain to who cracked my program?

[mike () genxweb net]

Several thoughts on this.

1. Google any app and the word keygen will produce sites saying they have
a keygen. It is a script that some warez / malicious sites use to show at
the top of Google.

2. If you think it is legit download it onto a machine that you plan to
re-image and verify if it works. If it don't then don't worry about it.

3. If you can prove that you are the creator / owner of the application
and the site truely has a keygen that works have your lawyer send them a
cease and desist order to have them remove it.

4. Release a update with a new algorithm / registration system and
deactivate the old version. I usually use a online registration with my
apps and once it registers that number is no longer able to register.

Good Luck.
