It's worth noting that there are conflicting reports about that. I've read that the missing elements from the cracked version are really minor.

A couple of friends on anoher forum have reported they are pretty major.

I'm inclined to think it's not completely cracked. I played a little with the network traffic and it's definitely encrypted/signed. Also one of the gnomes in the office had a go at reverse engineering it and as far as he's got so far he says it is pretty solidly done.

Even so, as long as that was the perception they still lost points.
