→Bypassing Copy Protection
:''This section is for informational purposes only.''
Distributors rarely release official patches to bypass activation, updates that remove online activation requirements altogether, if their servers are down. Some software cracks bypass copy protection checks, allowing installation and use of software without the original disc. These modified executables, often called "NoCD" or "NoDVD" cracks, are distributed on illegal sources. See [[ROM_%26_ISO_sites#Bypassing_Copy_Protection]] section.
On mobile platforms like Android, a large number of older software applications are unusable today due to copy protection. As a result, some users resort to patching the executables to bypass the protection and preserve the files including "APK and Data" files.
