A crack is used to eliminate any copyright protection the software has and usually modifies files such as config files to bypass any limitations. A serial is a simple piece of text that is used to “unlock” your software as if the key had been purchased. A keygen is a file that generates a serial to use for your software; these require a lot of work as the cracker must find the algorithm that the software creator uses.
