would it be considered warez if i.... ?

ibm has a file on their public ftp of ibm recordnow max 6.5(newest).. its the same as the retail one, it just has an ibm badge on it.

i think you need to have an older version of ibm recordnow max on your computer to install it.. its kind of like an upgrade.. but it does a full install.

the procedure for getting it to install on your computer this;

Yes it would. Removed the text about how to do it as well. / Moderator flaystus

I would still consider that to be warez.

I also consider IBM to be rather lax in their security as well.

I would consider that a HUGE understatement.

Technically you are using a crack, just one that you made yourself instead of downloading.

I find it funny though that IBM is stupid enough to leave a copy on their public FTP.

so opening an ini file, deleting 2 lines of text and saving it is considered a crack?

Yeah, like I said if its an exe, batch file, or manually done your editing a program in such as way as to install it without paying for the application.

Funny as it is that IBM did that its really still warez.

[jeex]

well, could i provide the link for ibm customers that might need to upgrade?

If it was the RecordNow version 6.5.3 from 11/19/2003, it wasn't exactly hard to find. Only took about 5 minutes and a file called all.... located on the server. Nice ftp, I'm glad they went to so much trouble to make it easy to find things, wish Epson did the same

I suppose this would be warez because you are getting the full version, but there are others who could argue the other side. It reminds me of a dedate with others I had about No-CD cracks for games. I said that the crack themselves were not warez because they had a great application in a legal way, it becomes a pain to insert a CD for every game you own sometimes, but I suppose everyone has a side of a story.
