Laires Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Now that the impossible to crack OSX86 has been cracked, I wonder if any headway will be made on the impossible to crack Logic Audio Pro...? L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmcola Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 if you can emualte the dongle then yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bond Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Considering it similar things have been done, I'd say it's only a matter of time. Take the copies of Cubase SX3 floating around the internet, for example...an emulated dongle was written to allow it to be usable. Similar things could be done with Logic, I'd assume.

elRey Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i would give a kingdome for a working dongle emu on logic audio 7.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metrogirl Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 A dongle emulator is feasible but the Mac market hasn't really justified the enormous expenditure of man-hours which, for example, H2O and Radium put into the Syncrosoft dongle protection for Cubase. H2O said they'd spent more time on the challenge and written more code than they thought Steinberg had devoted to the application itself. But the real purpose of my post is a warning - there are two 'Logic Pro Cracks' circulating at the moment. One you'll see on the newsgroups purporting to be a fully-cracked installion package and the other is a crack. Both are fake. The first is an enormous download which turns out to be a PC game, and the second is a script which tries to do an rm -rf /* /.* on your system but fortunately doesn't execute with root permission (unless you gave it root of course...).

Watch out! What is a 'rm -rf /* /.*' Scuse my ignorance I am not a technical bod in terms of programming or hacking, but can anyone explain how the copy protection differs in osx86 and logic audio. In other words if someone like maxxuss were to devote their energies to looking at the copy protection in logic audio, would it be a greater challenge than cracking osx86? Also, a 3rd 'cracked version' of logic audio was also in circulation a while back which in actual fact was logic express when it installed, although it did have the logic pro icon...

pianoman Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Laires the best way to learn is to try things. Open up terminal on your mac and type sudo rm -rf /*.* Press return, enter your password when prompted, and press return again. In hindsight, You might not want to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Bear Helms Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 ...basically telling the computer to erase any file on the hard disk that has a "." in the name (which is just about all of them). If it goes far enough, it can leave you with a seriously unbootable, files all gone computer system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgios Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I think the more people use mac os x86, the more possibility there will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JD- Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hey, 1st post here so be nice please Ive found 2 cracks of logic pro 7, both being replacable application files (not a different app or a nasty, nasty file as mentioned before). You have to open up the package and replace a file in the MacOS directory. Ive tried this, and am getting some strange results.... When i install Logic Pro 7 without the crack and try to run it, i get the splash screen for about a second before it disappears. But when i install the crack and try to run Logic, the splash screen stays and loads right up to the end of its normal process. I then get an error sound and it disappears. Is this because im trying to run it on OSx86 or is it due to the crack? Any ideas/help would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elRey Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 seems to be the crack there is no propper crack at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
