    What crack(s) took the longest amount of time to complete?
    Things like how many people worked on the crack or the legacy surrounding the software can also be a factor.
    DSP only, of course.

    I'd say Reason 12. As well as the Rack Extensions.

    WIBU (who created the Codemeter protection) used to (maybe still do) hold contests with 20000 euro reward for those who could crack Codemeter. According to WIBU, nobody has cracked the sample program that is protected with Codemeter. WIBU still claim that Codemeter hasn't been defeated...riiiiight

    the program being overrated doesn't mean the effort required to crack it is overrated

    word on the street was always that that crack was impressive enough that steinberg hired the cracker to do copy protection and that's why we never got another cubase crack (at least until they moved away from their dongle)

    either of those gets my vote as well

    Was it Cubase SX or 5 by AiR that had the emulator? I can't remember exactly.

    Totally agree with Joe on this! Audioutopia Pro Tools 12 release. He was one guy who changed it all and was the best of the best!

    Pretty much every AU release was pretty legendary, iirc. A lot hasn't been seen (scene?) again since.

    The most difficult crack, which taken the most long time was of course Cubase 5.1 by beloved AiR (4000 man-hours! Nobody, even the R2R gods, would sacrifice such a big piece of lifetime to study and reverse something!) (Time to pay homage once again to a vanished hero who make so much efforts to accomplish, with the lead member of the team, this incomparable exploit: Goudah - be blessed and RIP!).

    Comparatively, reversing the actual Cubendo (without MCFact = without dongle) is a soft breeze gently blowing on the surface of a countryside brook, where fairies, pixies and witches dance together, celebrating the return of the Spring...

    I agree too with @Joe Crisp : PT 12.5.0 by AudioUtopia is an incredible exploit, because the guy have completely removed the protection layers, ie the app is completely naked, unencrypted, doesn't need any driver nor nothing else, this is why I say this guy is not from this world, what he have done is really impossible!

    I would wish for Xmas that he or someone else redo this kind of exploit with a more recent version of PT!

    Regarding Audioutopia, the guy was in a totally different league. I think he could crack anything he wanted to. Just brilliant!

    For me it was Softube. That takes everything up a level, or ten levels. Now we have better stuff, most not (SEE: shared) cracked yet.
