Serial number of developer, only use to create activation keys, but no more use.
Algorithm serial number isn´t in game files encrypt, because game don´t checked it, and with one serial number nobody could create a keygen.

Where is the "activation" stored? It's just a key that is calculated from the hardware key and serial #? Does it phone home to check? If you duplicate the original serial number, that exact game image (Direct2Drive, not DVD), and hardware key (registry entry?), then add the activation key, why won't it work?

Well, if no one cracks this system, you can forget about NoCDs in the future, and this forum will be gone too. Not only because of Starforce, but other upcoming corporate extortions of this type. It will no doubt extend to applications, not just games.

Then they'll start raising prices.
