Hmmm...I really am not a fan of warez software, especially when it is a good product such as this one, and has a fair license.
Personally, I did the 30-Day trial, and this engine really grabbed my eye, so I spent the next 4 months convincing my parents to order it for me on the terms that I pay them back as I can. I won my parents over, and I got the standard edition (Love 5.51 and can't wait until I can buy version 6

) and I would never, never dream of doing anything to try to tap into the softwares disabled features. After all you get what you pay for, and, even if the Standard Edition isn't as powerful as the professional version, you can still come up with a solid product, and enter it into the contest to try to win a better version, so basically you earn it and you get experience with the engine so that you can actually make use of the new features in an intelligent manner, for example... you are learning to drive, you are definitely not going to hop behing the Mclaren F1 and go for a spin on the autobahn (Did I spell that right?)... that would be a recipe for disaster!!!!!!
Anyways, that was a bit off topic, so I'll get back in topic and give 3D Zach a word of advice. Earn the money, buy the standard edition, use the features that you got and come up with something good, something you are proud of. I know for me, creating something using stuff that I don't have the right to, well that is wrong morally, and legally. That and it does not bring the feeling of self-satisfaction of creating something you are proud of because you had to cheat someone to get what you created.
Conitec has to sell the versions as they are (They are very fair-minded in the licenseing) in order to keep adding to the engine to make it better, so if you come up with dll's to "hack" the engine, you are not just hurting the company, you are hurting us, the ones who have paid for what they got and who are trying to earn their way to a better version.

P.S. Sorry about the rant, but well, what 3D Zach is suggesting is just so wrong and it really annoys me.
