Question -
Dear Sir
I Want to Make CD Copy Protection, by this no one can use software without using my cd.
to prevent piracy.
Answer -
the pirates copy the CD with Protection :) so there is no point in thinking like that.

Good ways of copy protection can be that u generate an installation ID and issue a code according to those IDs so its difficult for ppl. to use your software. An Installation ID can consist of CPUID and HDD ID etc.

Rizwan

Answer
one way can be that you create your CDs with a special track which can only be understood by your application but all that stuff can be copied, literally there is no way you can be safe, but if you still want to try. You can write special dummy tracks on the CD or may be put something in the CDFS FAT so it might differ from one CD to another.
