In my experience, shareware tends to get cracked -pretty- fast. Is your target audience big enough so that a few people downloading the pirated version won't hurt you?
- pkamb 16y agoYeah that's one of my worries/complains about shareware. I don't have the time and/or anti-cracking security knowledge to prevent it, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it. It's an app directed at "normal people" and not tech nerds, so hopefully that will help. It sucks that a SaaS/webapp type pricing plan isn't viable, but again this is a very desktop oriented thing that wouldn't work elsewhere. So I'm just trying to figure out the BEST way to release this.
- singer 16y agoFortunately, the average computer user doesn't know how to find and/or used cracked software. Personally, I wouldn't worry about this much. Almost all well-known software has been cracked. That didn't seem to stop them though.
