[WT-support] Registration...

[Milan Pelech]

Nothing is 100% protected. When anyone will want to do crack tool, do it. 
Its bad idea think that nobody will do it. Only low cost way is protecting 
because users dont have any motivation to do something as decribed below. 
And 45,- EUR is low cost for this nice software. Its only my idea ofcourse.

That would be so easy to detect by the reg server it's not worth the
bandwidth here.
