1.53 on the way
I will be starting work on 1.53 this next Monday and will the reserve the week to fix issues that we have collected so far. If I don’t run into hard-to-fix problems I might be able to release 1.53 by the end of the week.
One thing for sure that will be corrected in 1.53 is the protection. It will be reduced to a simple serial # without any anti-cracking checks. By trying to fight the pirates really hard, we are wasting our energies and making PPL vulnerable to installation issues and, most importantly, frustrating our paying customers.
Version 2.0 will use a simple protection mechanism as well, the trial version won’t include some important features to prevent the use of the most popular cracking tools.
Alain,
Good idea about the piracy thing. There is never going to be a fool proof anti piracy system, as what ever developers do, there is always a more clever hacker out in the wild.
You need to concentrate on PPL2 and make it the product I know we all want!
I have a question though….
What about the register DLL bit of PPL? Will this ever be changed so that PPL works under WINE on Linux?
You could open up another group of users by making PPL work under WINE. – As much as I have tried, I cannot work out how to get PPL working fully under Linux and WINE.
I did hope that I would be able to figure it out, thus helping you out by making it available to the Linux masses, but alas nope!!!!
Keep up the good work…
Mike
Mike,
There will not be any runtimes registering anymore, hopefully this will help PPL work under Linux (Wine).
Oh cool. I will try and get it working under Linux then when its release. This will definately help get PPL to more users
