Okay - Rookie time.....
New to this stuff. Looking at some software and it has some words that I need definitions for.....
I know what an EXE is - no issue.
What is a CRACK (or an exe with a CRACK)?
What is a Patcher?
Do all EXE's come with keys or does one need to download a KeyGen?

Thanks for the assistance......

a "crack" is what separates your ass cheeks
a "patcher" is someone who throws a ball
and "exe's" should come with a key, but if you lost yours, a local locksmith might be the way to go. :blink: :P :P :P

A "crack" is a way of cracking a program without a serial number

Not all exe's need a crack

A patch is basically the same as a crack, but sometimes used as a cheat in games

A key is a serial number or equivelent

A keygen generates serial numbers
