The copy protection makes me hesitate to buy it, and I have no interest in
cracking it. I just don't like to buy software that may have a problem
installing in the future - after a computer crash, or if I buy a new computer.
Authors and software companies go out of business frequently, then you're stuck
with something you paid for but can't use. So maybe I'll stay with Fruit 2.1
which is free and has no protection.
