We would need about 60 licenses of 3DS Max at school - part of the course is learning 3DS Max basics. But only for 3 months a year, the 3DS Max course is offered in the 3rd quarter of the 2nd year. Every three months the student computers are completely reinstalled from the ground up. The official licensing server system of 3DS Max is a complete disaster when working with a setup like this. So the school struck a deal with the official representative of 3DS Max in our country. Instead of 60 licenses - which the school could never afford - Autodesk offered to sell 15 licenses, provided they were only used 3 months a year. And Autodesk itself provided the school with a crack to circumvent the license server! This is what the thread is about. Copy protection schemes that are standing in the way of legitimate use - and don't do the job of preventing theft.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
