Please tell me what is the need of Software security for our computers. What a cracker will gain by breaching our software security ??? Any software that needs our special attention , than please mention it.

You need software security to keep your information safe. In most cases, for home users, security prevents malicious viruses. Viruses can do a range of things such as deleting files, stealing information and preventing your OS from operating correctly.

You need security in your own software to prevent it from being stolen. More people stealing your software equals less people buying your software equals less money. Most software will be cracked eventually though so you need to stay on top of it.

Our software uses a concurrent user licensing method. We need security methods to ensure that users are not using more licenses than they have paid for.

Simple: to prevent it from being cracked.

If your software gets cracked, it can be destroyed so you can't use it again. Worse, personal information can be stolen which can be utilized for identity theft.

Software security like encryption is very important for shareware, and people will not be able to edit your programs and make them their own (while you have done the hard work)
