These are contradictory statements, and I'm not sure why you'd think otherwise.

Simple. I just define crack as potentially dangerous program that you have to give full access to your machine so it can do it's job.

Instead it's sufficient to use normal MS activation procedure with a server that always says, sure, you can activate. Because why not.
