I prefer keys myself...but this iCU patch is really great! It's the first patch of its kind that preserves the authenticity verification! All other patches I have used before failed on this. Makes me wonder why the "scene" couldn't produce a patch like this. iCU really puts them to shame with this release. :p

Great work iCU!

You do make a good point.

But, you must also understand that sometimes it's not just about the price...but for people who wish to remain anonymous, it's impossible to buy a license...like people in the scene for example. I know, maybe I'm a bit paranoid but it's been working out for me so far...

Anyway, there is a working key out there...just got it yesterday, so I'm good for now. :)

Why the scene hasn't been able to create a real keygen...good question! Maybe their keys are just too hard to crack (it would take too much computing power?...that's just a guess) As for how they blacklist keys, they just block them in their next executable. That's why unblacklister tools are able to work so well. The reason they haven't blacklisted yours (or any other legit customers' keys) is because those keys aren't spread on the internet. If you posted your key here, for example, it would be almost guaranteed to be blacklisted in the next release...that's why I'm keeping my key a secret, sorry guys!
