CloneCD and SecuROM

[SmackuROM]

I was looking for information on CloneCD and DAEMON Tools on these boards last night, and didn't find what I was looking for. Here's an email that I got from SlySoft this morning that answered my question:

Hi,

Sorry. CloneCD copies Securom up to version 4.67 at the moment. This
game seems to be protected by a newer version.

Best regards,

Well, CloneCD is currently not able to create working images and backups of SecuROM v4.8x and above. You need image with DPM data (Alcohol or Blindwrite).

I ended up buying a license to BlindWrite last night. Worked like a charm.
