Nah, crackers don't ask such things, they rip them out of software, that's where the whole challenge is (besides the will to steal).

You can only rip serials out of installers that actually have a serial within them. PMDG uses online validation so knowing what communication takes place between the installer and the server is of the utmost importance to a hacker. Anyone who toutes themselves as an experienced computer engineer or "architect" and asks about the fundamental workings of how validation of an installer works is questionable.

Riping serials out of installers is... sorry "script kid" play, You can do this with basic knowledge :( But regarding the topic, as Privacy Policy states: "For further information related to PMDG's Privacy Policy, please contact us.", so he asked and should be answered the best way possible, without revealing secrets of PMDG activation technology. Of course I have no idea, why one should worry about data that he didn't enter. :(
