C´mon guys, why quarrell over this? R2R have explained why it cannot be cracked, or why they won´t do it. OP just posted something A LOT of people here simply ignore, they just scroll down to "How to install".

I´m also tired of this everlasting req for Cubendo, Reason 6/7/8 etc which is clearly difficult, maybe even impossible to crack. If it one day comes like openssh´s patch of ilok stuff, lets just celebrate. The teams know what most of you would like to see, we certaintly don´t need to rub it in their face.

Happy new year everyone! And thanks all Teams for the wonderful gifts throughout 2016!

 

not being rude but...
I could say the same about crackers
they could update their tools, knowledge...etc

if there's a team about the level of team AIR
cubase 5.5 would have been released

let's face it
AIR is still the legend
by all means I appreciate releases from all other crackers
and by all means I want to say thank you to every one of them
but regarding skills they are lesser crackers compared to AIR

personally
I will not get frustrated for R2R/other teams failed to crack Steinberg stuff
I understand how difficult it is

oh yea
Happy new year everyone! And thanks all Teams for the wonderful gifts throughout 2016!

 

i dont wanted reply but ...

its absolutely incorrect

 

I could have happily checked out at the end of 2015

 

AIR is a legend? possibly.
In all the years I've been in this scene (1990) I think R2R are the best.
R2R and all the groups are giving away part of their life, their time is spent for us to enjoy new programs. No one has thought?
It annoys me to see people asking the groups to release new versions, samples, .... we are nobody to ask for. We are very grateful for everything, everything, everything, what they do for us.
We have 200 compressors, 200 reverbs, 200 delays, 500 synthesizers, .... 10000 sound libraries, .... still want more? Think what you have, not what you do not have.
My sincere regards to all the scene groups. I will be grateful for a lifetime. Without them, surely my life would be different.

 

get a life guys. (not claiming I have one, really xDD )

just use the good stuff we already have.

sure its interesting to see how its being done!

I think it is doable, but the mechanisms are too interwoven and encrypted that its not doable by hand.

I remember reading something about Airs Cubase 5 crack and they said they had to do a lot of crazy stuff that was even a bit of luck involved.

Dont remember it though.

I just think Cubase is good but not the holy grail.

Reaper, Ableton, Pro Tools come to mind ;)


And All DAWs suck, if you didnt know already ;)

And UVI sucks even more.

 

I'm all for expressing honest opinion, having a voice and all that.
Discussing what you'd like to see is fine, I guess.

What gets me is using some made-up alter ego to hide behind. It just adds an unnecessary layer of wanton farce that makes it hard to take what you say seriously because all it says to me is you don't really have the nerve to stand behind what it is you're saying.

I'll let you in on a well kept secret. You totally do have the balls. You just seem to hold far too much regard for what others may think (of some virtual alias you made up in the first place).
Let loose. Be free. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
It'll change your life.

As far as software goes, my glass is overflowing to the point where I'm needing buckets.

 

A very naive question - am I right in thinking that the protection code cant be stripped out from the app code because the whole lot is encrypted?

 

Respect to anyone who can rev-engineer and "Robinhood" the outcome to the poor ppl of this world. It's an art form in it's own right and a valiant and risky action. But pushing 51yo, and almost 35 years in the digital world, life has taught me one simple lesson. Never say never. So many software engineers were strict around the year 2000 by claiming: Polyphonic intonation/correction is NOT possible. Fast forward a few years later and the professor who looks like a distant relative to Einstein introduces the polyphonic version of Melodyne changing the recording industry for ever. It's been proved there's no code to be written by man that cannot be reversed by another. For every clever person there will be another one more clever. And so on. Whats the bottom line of all this ? Patience is a virtue
Happy new year

i hereby request Ableton 10. i heard it uses the same response code as ableton 11 so its easy to crack!

well said old buddy, wisdom may fill the new year

 

REQ: Write in Mac \/ersion Please!

 

I don't remember, was it air with the N4.3 oder H2O with some Nuendo 3 or some Cubase version who were like: "reverse engineering the encryption took months, we're pretty shure we won't do that again". And as TinTin said, that was nearly a decade ago.

Besides, for me still radium is the true legend. as for my perception these guys were the first ones who did something about badly cracked audio warez.

 

Exactly, the program code is encrypted and decrypted via the usb dongle. to be gentle on audio and processing performance, it seems that mainly gui and user interactions are encrypted. the dongle emulator of h2o who resided in the tray and flickered red when accessed gave a good impression how heavily the protection was integrated in the program code (back then even). fun fact: the cracked version that didn't use usb for decryption felt snappier than the legit one.

 

Why AudioUTOPIA can't use the same technic to crack their PC release but for MAC ? is it too difficult for them ? thanks

 

The nfo of XILS R2R release shows the details of the various types of protection.
This shows how hard R2R works.

I don't care if elicenser isn't cracked or emulated completely, whatever software is released by them till now is no small task.
For me they need not prove anything, My respect to R2R.

 

So, here my thoughts:
I have a hope guys, cuz if I understand correctly EDEN was decrypted in XILS release
I used this statements:
"WHY DOES THIS XILS RELEASE WORK?:

For those iLok-XILS products, McFACT is initialized by the value which is
decrypted from EDEN powered content. It means McFACT virtual code will be run
as expected when EDEN content is properly decrypted. The serial number based
XILS products (SERIAL+McFACT) uses 5 WORD value for McFACT. It is a bit
different from iLok protected one."

See? This words: "McFACT is initialized by the value which is
decrypted from EDEN powered content"//so code flows to McFACT after EDEN decryption like a trigger. So R2R decrypted EDEN?
This is some kind of hybrid, but in two ways: 1) EDEN then McFACT; 2) SERIAL+McFACT//
R2R choosed first way to attack, so I suppose they firstly decrypted EDEN, the that decrypted value of some function goes to McFACT and makes it work properly. As you can see here huge amount of work, cuz such values probably more than you can imagine.

And look at this: "It means McFACT virtual code will be run
as expected when EDEN content is properly decrypted."//What that means? What do you expect from this? I expect that EDEN has been properly decrypted...

But look at this: "Probably you may know, simple license check can be bypassed but you can't
do that for crypto, just like you can't extract protected zip without correct
password. In the long history, most integration from PACE.Inc has been
compromised but crypto has never been done in the past, as you can't find
any working cracks of UVI or PLAY engine (and XILS till now). Some *users*
are still requesting UNLOCKED version of them but it won't happen. In theory,
all libraries need to be processed one by one."
EDEN is crypto and as R2R said: "you can't
do that for crypto"// but what means this: (and XILS till now) ??
This words give me a hope, hope of decrypted EDEN ;)
But what means this string: "Some *users*
are still requesting UNLOCKED version of them but it won't happen." ? And this: "but it won't happen"?
I can't find an answer on this questions in my mind.
What that means: "In theory,
all libraries need to be processed one by one."?// /this is some sequence or what?

R2R please don't give up!
"In this way, you can run the ProductA's code on ProductB. This works if A & B
fucntions are completely identical - which rarely happens. Think you are very
lucky if it works. Anyway, in fact, no further attacks can be done in this
way. There are no chance to enable Vienna, Nexus, Vengeance or full version
of Steinberg top notch products."//Ok, but what about functional code tracking?
"Anyway, in fact, no further attacks can be done in this
way. There are no chance to enable Vienna, Nexus, Vengeance or full version
of Steinberg top notch products. "// Ok, but maybe exist another ways? That statement looks very interesting actually.
"Always remember that there are no way to bypass the cryptograhic protection."//but how R2R decrypted EDEN in XILS release? And how AIR decrypted McFACT in 2009? That's another reason for hope. But maybe not decryption but emulation?

Dunno what that means!!

 

No, not AIR
AIR simply disappeared without saying anything
Cubase 5.5 can load into project page with 5.1.2 AIR emulator
in other words, halfly cracked
and no one can finish the other half in all these years

I need to mention again
I highly respect R2R and all other teams for their efforts & time
but the fact that no one else can finish 5.5 crack is quite self-explanatory...in terms of skills

 

Never mind the bollocks

Or as Nirvana might say... Nevermind.
