Sigh why did you have to say Creature Creator? I have a copy that I purchased that I cannot use because they have never replied to my emails. If I could find a crack for that one I would use it since I paid too much for it in the first place and am not able to use it at all. I would do it. If the company was out of business and even if another bought it. Why should they hand me a key? As long as I own my copy and am not sharing it with anyone then yes it is ethical. Is it ethical for a company to do this to their customers knowing that they will no longer be able to use the product if they can't get a legal key? Marque
