If one uses the cryptographic process to protect certain functions in the software, which will not decrypt, and therefore not operate unless the proper code is entered and they have used a strong encryption "properly", it is not likely that one can get a fully functioning software unless one is capable of writing the missing elements. While this depends on the proper choice of the functions to protect, it is a fairly effective protection system. The problem is that the shareware software vendors seem not to impliment these features in their programs. This is a common problem of those who fail to use asprotect to its full potential. While I'm less familiar with the choices offered arma users, I would suspect that they,also, often fail to use its capabilities to their full potential, leaving aside the issue of the incorrect implimentation of the earlier cryptographic systems which was actually arma's error.
