[GD-General] Protecting our game

[<cas...@ya...>]

Hi,
I'd like to know how do games usually store the number of times played, the
registration key, and other critical information, that should remain on the
computer if the user decides to uninstall and reinstall the game. The
registry is easy to monitor, you can store the data enchrypted, but removing
the entire key you don't know if the game has just been installed or if the
user has removed it on purpouse. How is this usually solved?

Thanks in advance,


Ignacio Castaño
