I agree. Software companies which insist on using software copy
protection schemes that diddle with the operating system deserve to
fail. I'd rather be tied to a dongle if the company just has to have
protection.

I think cdilla writes data to an otherwise inaccessible area on the hard
drive, so an image of the disk may not be sufficient. Thus, other
software with the cdilla system can interfere.

I have had cdilla fail unexpectedly, one while in the math soft
offices. They fixed it immediately, but it gives me the creeps.

While cracked software is a serious mortal sin, guaranteed to send you
to catholic hell no matter what your religion is or isn't, I've always
found it much more reliable.

Or so people tell me.

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
