Can the DVD XCOPY software (new or otherwise) that is being sold on Ebay be activated or is one buying useless software? One seller told me that he uses a special program that doesn't require a code? Sound right?
If it's new & sealed and live in the U.S., maybe. If you live outside the U.S. you have a better chance of activation. If it's open, used and perhaps registered ... most likely not. That seller is most likely talking about a keygen/hack/crack ... which is illegal. With no more "official support" and no more updates ... I would say yes. If you want to buy something try AnyDVD w/ CloneDVD2. If don't want to pay for anything try DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter.
I have a copy of xcopy gold that is completly worhtless because I can not activate it. $75 bucks down the toliet.
