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.
