Many years ago tried to hack the 1-2-3 installation security (a friend had the install media, but had used up all his permitted installs) in DOS Debug. I gave up when:

The install media was 5" floppy discs and there was a hole punched in the disc and the install program looked for a read error at that location.
I tried to bypass the code that detected the read error and found that the program was writing to a block of memory that turned out to be the an interrupt handler and the code then explicitly called the interrupt handler!
This was way before it got to the point of checking the number of installs.

Memories < sigh/>
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
