sorry to say this but there is NO chance to prevent this. you can make it
harder to crack and i dont think anyone will go cracking game with dongle
but even this doesnt help. i saw all autodesk products cracked and they all
have dongle, and i think that people who are selling $5k worth products
would try to make them uncrackable but even they didnt succeed. only
solution for this is what Steff said... DONT RELEASE IT! all other methods
are useless if someone really want this thing.
