Search the internet archives for "fravias pages of reverse engineering". Too bad it's not live any
more, but there was a *vast* amount of articles on this topic.

Basically, you're trying to make it hard enough to crack to justify just paying for the darn thing.
How much is one lost sale worth to you? How much time will you spend trying to make it hard to
crack that you could spend on making the product better, and thus more desirable? Remember, by
increasing product desirability, you will increase your market penetration, and maybe make 5 sales
rather than just losing 1 sale because of a crack...
