I know there is no perfect secrecy. My issue I disabled some modules of the program for trial use but I easily find out the instruction to crack it and that drove me crazy. I need some strategies at least to give the impression for the cracker that cracking is unfeasible in a timely fashion...

You mean one binary for trial, one for full licensed? and if the user enters/inputs the right "thing" for enabling the software, which binary should be in charge for this?

I may be confused with your last comment, please explain further...

P.S. I am a little late. sorry for this.
