    Hi,

of course - the most dongle checks were cracked. I have seen 3DSMax and
other... For more information:

  Subject: How secure are dongles for copy-protection?


  I'm looking for any information on incorporating dongles into a =
software package for copy protection. In particular, I'm looking for =
information on the Rainbow Technologies Sentinel, but advice on =
dongle-based copy protection in general is appreciated.

  How easy/difficult is it to break this kind of copy-protection? Are =
there any known weaknesses in the dongle-type systems themselves (as =
opposed to implementation weaknesses?)=20

  Are there any dongle-based protection schemes that have been cracked, =
and if so, how?=20



  (A pointer to a URL would be appreciated, if you have it.)

  Thanks in advance.
