In fact, this is the Piracy Rate by region (2006, source: BSA):

North America 22%
Western Europe 34%
Asia Pacific 55%
Middle East/Africa 60%
Central/Eastern Europe 68%
Latin America 66%
European Union 36%
Worldwide 35%

In this scenario there is a real need for a software protection scheme oriented to make harder the proliferation of illegal serial numbers or even the creation of keygens for legal software.

GuancheMOS is one of such solutions, being able to generate serial numbers anchored to a name/application pair, easy to implement in any development. This way, you will be able to track the source of the serial numbers generated for your applications.
