Analysis of Software License Key Mechanisms in PC Games: A Case Study of Blur
Risks and pitfalls
- False security: simple visual blur in images can sometimes be reversed if poorly applied (low blur radius, predictable patterns, or preserved metadata).
- Improper storage: storing obfuscated but reversible keys in plain config files still exposes them to attackers.
- Backup leakage: backups and sync services may retain original unredacted copies.
- User friction: overly aggressive masking can prevent legitimate users from copying keys they need.
- Legal/compliance: tampering with licence data in ways that violate vendor terms can cause support or licensing issues.

The "Don't Do This" Hall of Shame
- ❌ The iOS Markup Pen: If you screenshot on a PC, send it to your iPhone, use the highlighter, and send it back—this is reversible. Do not do this.
- ❌ The PDF Comment: Never just draw a black box in Adobe Acrobat. The recipient can right-click > "Delete Comment" to see the key.
- ❌ Cropping: Cropping the key out of the image is actually safer than blurring. Just cut off that section of the screen entirely.
- Infect your PC with malware.
- Provide a key that gets blacklisted within 24 hours.
- Steal your personal data.
