TrueCrypt - Incompatibility With FlexNet Publisher

Incompatibility With FlexNet Publisher

Installing 3rd party software which uses FlexNet Publisher (used for preventing software piracy) on products such as Adobe Photoshop and other software by Adobe, can damage the TrueCrypt bootloader on Windows partitions/drives encrypted by TrueCrypt and render the drive unbootable. This is caused by the inappropriate design of FlexNet Publisher writing to the first drive track and overwriting whatever non-Windows bootloader exists there, which also damages a dual-boot setup when dual-booting Windows and Linux.

Famous quotes containing the word publisher:

    No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide.... I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
