DescriptionCracking is the act of breaking the registration, nag screen, time limits and various other aspects of a piece of software. It is a specialized field which may take several months or even years to master.

Supposedly, the act of 'cracking' is a challenge to the cracker rather than an effort to pirate software, and generally benefits the software industry by pushing new development and technologies.
