Ollydbg would be a good start.
Try and find out what the executable is packed with (WinLicense/Themida or Enigma, for example are common licensing programs), and then dump it from memory if packed.
Use ImpRec to reconstruct the imports section of the executable, fix the PE header if needed, and then start cracking the application that you've dumped. How to crack it depends on the application, you can just jmp over the licensing checks at that stage though. IDA Pro helps with the process as well.
Not a traditional x86 app? Try .NET reflector, it works great for unobfuscating .NET Assemblies, and you can crack it quite easily once dumped from that.
But seriously, just buy the application if you understood 0% of that. Unless it's IDA, in which case, pirate that son of a bitch.
