KeyGens

rctneil · 02-07-2009, 09:16 AM

Hello,
I have been notified by a friend who also uses MA3 over the beta period and has bought an upgrade that a key generator for Ma3 is doing the rounds. I ahve downloaded incase it gets removed from where I got it just in case Jim or Prolific need it for any reason. I havn't used it as I already have a valid legal key from prolific courtesy of Jim.

Just thought I should let you guys know.

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

There's also a cracked version of 2.6 available on Rapidshare . Not sure if there's anything can be done about that , but sometimes they will withdraw download links for copyright reasons .

Thanks for the info. We haven't had a lot of trouble with KeyGens since we started letting illegal Key Codes run for a random number of days.

Are you sure its not a Trojan? Keygens rarely are what they pretend to be and with BETA's not being readily available or publicised there is always some idiot with no life that uploads Trojans pretending to be something it isn't.

I'd be very surprised if its real.

Did a search in CUIL, and every link lit up Norton Antivirus like a Christmas tree.

well we can found all the betas (9.0 and install 8.k also) and even the install one cracked without keygen... i think there is only a 10 days between the new beta and it's cracked version. but it's the fact for all programs. Nothing can really be done against except selling a good work :-) this screen saver is really beautiful, not finished but it move again, show that there is work behind, and will sell ... when a code is good enough to make people happy, cracked versions are only used by few people, who don't want to really use or buy this... and for the one who see jim sachs responding to all request, no doubt ... it well be paid

thanks mr Jim, it ' s not often that we can be listen by the programmer
