What is the difference between a crack,keygen & a patch with respect to a software???

Answer 1

Cracks and keygens are used in software piracy/theft.
A patch can also be used in software piracy/theft. ...but it can also be used as an update to legally obtained/purchased software.

Answer 2

hmmm

Keygen is a serial key generator
serials are nothing but algorithm which follow particular path so keygen knows those algos n generate a key respective to the program....

Patch
its actually a newwer version of some files. suppose agame could have some flaw in graphics. some games may be shutdown is creating problem. so the creators of the software realize some problems after people actually use it and comment on it. so the manufacturer releases a patch which solves some problems...

Crack.
an executable file of the software now a days does some checks before starting you. checks could be whether its trial version or pirated. checks are whether the original CD/DVD is there in the system for using the software etc. etc.. to bypass these checks you use cracks. they cracked file just almost the same executable file without these checks.

hopes that solves

I know that people see a serious relationship as something that has been going on for a long period of time, but there are certain factors needed to keep that relationship alive. I believe that a serious relationship is is when the two people are committed, faithful, and most importantly, truly in love, because of course, a relationship isn't really a relationship if you don't love your significant other. Respect for one another, trust, unending support, good communication, etc. are also things that assure a road to an amazing relationship. I'm 14, and I've had two relationships. My first relationship (when I was 13) lasted 1 year and 5 months. And my second is the one that I'm currently in now... and so far we've been together for 11 months, and I know that I am in love with him. Now, I know most people would say, "no, that's too young," but it's true, I am in love with him - we were very close best friends for a long time before getting together and we spent every day together and every night on the phone - and we still do.

Well based on my own experience and knowledge a crack simply a so called by-passer which actually enables you to use the product when the trial is over. a keygen from the word itself Key Generator helps you generate a special key for a special character. and a patch is a program which overwrites the software thus making it available to use.

Answer 5

The term "crack" is generally used to reference any type of method used for defeating or altering any protection within a game or application. The term can apply to keygens, loaders, (user created unauthorized) patches, etc.

A "keygen" is just that, it generates a registration key for a particular program.

A "loader" is a program that you use in place of the main executable that alters or blocks certain memory addresses from being executed, accessed, or loaded into memory, thus defeating whatever protection it was intended for.

Patches actually overwrite and change bits of code in either the main executable or DLL in order to prevent or achieve a certain function (such as disabling checking for a CD when playing a game).

Answer 6

crack is something that a smart programing person change or delete the program,keygen is a tool to generate key for software,patch is a software that create by that smart programing person to change or add a software componet.All above that is illegal.

Answer 8

a crack is a series of numbers you type in that's already generated... keygon is a program that generated a serial for u.. and a patch is a program that all you do is click on it and the software is unlocked
