Unclenelli - I've removed the link you posted, which I'm sure you did with the best of intentions. However, PPRuNe policy is not to allow anything that might be construed as encouraging or facilitating an illegal activity.
If I may quote Danny on this:
Anyone wanting to get cracks or hacks to something they would otherwise have to pay for then they can go and find a website dedicated to that.
