I remember that the binary for L0phtCrack had some sort of software protection included with it, and it took a 1-bit change to be cracked, itself -- a 0x74 to 0x75, iirc (or 0x74 to 0xEB if you're a stickler for doing it right). I don't remember exactly what the protection was, maybe there was some sort of password count limit or time limit. It was a long time ago. I just remember being a little disappointed that it was that easy.

The idea behind the weak license protection was hackers could crack it but it would keep the govt and corps honest.
