A No-CD crack No-DVD is a modified executable file or a special byte patcher program that removes internal CD verification mechanisms allowing the user to use software without the need to insert the CD-ROM or DVD- ROM.
This act is a form of software cracking. Non-CD cracks can be found on the Internet from various reverse engineering websites or file distribution networks. Non-CD cracks have legal uses, such as creating legal possession software backups (a user right by law in many countries) or avoiding the inconvenience of placing a CD or DVD in the drive every time the software is used , although this can also be used to circumvent software laws by allowing the execution of full versions of non-legal possession applications or limited time trials of applications without the original disk.
While some uses of non-CD cracks are legal, cracks in themselves are illegal in some countries, including the United States. According to Chapter 12 of the US Copyright Law, "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected by this title." The maximum possible fine for an intentional violation of the law is $ 500,000. Mini imágenes
In addition to cracked executable files or byte patchers, CD protection can sometimes be fooled by creating a mini (disk) image that includes only the contents of the CDROM needed to bypass protection. This image can then be mounted with a disk image emulator such as Daemon Tools to make the user's computer believe that the disk image is the physical software CD-ROM and that it is in the disk drive. However, some programs try to discover such disk image emulators and will refuse to operate if they find one. There are other programs that try to hide the presence of the disk image emulators of such protected software.
