found this on piratebay: UNCRACKABLE!!! haha.
removed the link because of violations of polycount rules:
Steel Beasts Pro PE
Here it is- an ISO of the most realistic modern tank simulator known to mankind. Only one problem- A WIBU-Systems Codemeter USB dongle is required. Codemeter has not been cracked, as far as I know.
If you're a moron who would rather download a backup copy of your SB PRO PE rather than make one yourself, then this is a worthwhile torrent. If you're looking to pirate the sim, well... crack the damn Codemeter, or find some workaround... but be warned: the best of the best from around the world have tried and failed. A total of 4 hacker's contests have been held by the manufacturer, and all attempts have failed, year after year.
Either way, here it is.

Thanks for posting this.
I've been wanting this for a long time, but $125 (yes, $125!) is too steep for a video game for me. I suppose if I were in the military and needed it for training it would be worth it.
Hopefully someone will crack it someday.

I also realize the legal status of this particular item is questionable, but I'm going to come down on the side of being conservative and just say no.
As always, you can have a ball with your pirated stuff, just don't do it in polycount. kthx.
its protected by a dongle. and this just proves that dongles are UNBREAKABLE!!!!
take that all you dongle-hating naysayers.
deleted the link, and posted quotes instead.

oh and dejawolf... there are several dongle based security systems which ARE crackable. so to say: "its protected by a dongle. and this just proves that dongles are UNBREAKABLE!!!!" is pretty stupid. steinbergs cubase used to have a dongle protection system, and so did protools. but both of them gave up when the dongles were being bypassed by crackers.
there's no such thing as a "foolproof" or "unbreakable" system. if there's a lock, there's always a key to that lock. and if there's a key there's a way to forge it. just because it's hard to the point of extreme, doesn't mean it's impossible.
finally. you're making yourself out to look like a cunt. just thought i should let you know, that the "i work for these guys, here's a big post showing how we can leak stuff to people that they can't ever touch without giving us moneys" thing, just makes you look that way
well that certainly gave me a deja vu.
maybe i should try and work on those social skills of mine.
imo, games should be either on a tiny protected dongle, or distributed digitally.
Saying that kinda made you look like a cunt (jk. but seriously. but not really. but yea.)
XSI used to, for sure.
as for what i look like when i post something like that. i know. i just wanted to make sure you knew, too.
It really does, nothing wrong with bragging about working on a game that is tough to crack.
For example, Adobe knows that PS is heavily pirated but does very little to stop it (not that they really could even if they wanted to), which kills the market for mid/low end 2d software and prevents any potential competitors from gaining traction. All those people who think they need PS in order to add text to funny pictures of their cats might think again if they actually had to drop a couple grand for it.
Same for Microsoft. The pirated Windows market share is almost as large as the legitimate one, but if MS somehow closed that down (and it looks like they can already detect and disable pirated copies through their update service) Linux would double or triple its user base overnight, doubly so in emerging markets. If that happened other companies would start writing applications for Linux and after a while the only reason to use Windows would fade away.
Anyway, its not going to happen any time soon.
'Cause I think I just heard someone say Wibu.
Lord, I love PBF.
