Perhaps one of the best instant messaging clients in the AppStore and perhaps one of the most expensive instant messaging clients in the AppStore just released a nice update to BeejiveIM — Support for custom background images and support for Facebook IM. Along with those nice implementations they have taken anti-piracy measures so the application isn’t wildly cracked and distributed illegally.
The new version of BeejiveIM includes:
- Support for Facebook IM, including the ability to login from multiple locations, update your buddy picture and update your Facebook status.
- Wallpaper selection inside the application. Ability to select your own wallpaper.
- Performance enhancements.
- Small UI enhancements.
The good folks of Beejive have told MobileCrunch:
We have recently implemented new anti-piracy measures in BeejiveIM for iPhone. We have tried to keep our approach fun with an error message and a video. But we hope our message is clear: please respect the work of developers.
If you happen to pirate BeejiveIM then the following screenshot may look familiar to you:
You’ll see that error and be taken to a Office Space YouTube video.
If you did pirate BeejiveIM, then buy a legit copy. It’s very expensive for a IM client but its worth every cent if you’re a heavy IM user.

Nope, that load letter doesn’t look familiar at all.
Lmao! I think they meant if u happen to pirate beejive in the future with this update. I guess we’ll see for ourselves when installlous is up and running again :P
Maybe, all I know is that my current copy doesn’t give me that error page. With the way that these apps are cracked, I think it’s safe to say that the cracker can easily manipulate other things to ensure this error doesn’t pop up.
I’ll buy it when I see its worth. Currently, it’s just on “nifty” status.
This Anti-piracy, is already cracked, is working now!!! :D
pls tell us where to download the creaked working version. thx
No, sorry. It’s illegal. You’ll have it find it on your own but Google.com is your friend. ;)
A buddy of mine can find anything for you. The only thing is, you’ll have to ask, first. Here’s his website!

U just put a iTunesMetadata.plist…. ssh from another cracked app to the beejive folder, worked for me
