Hi All,

This isn't your usual crackme - We have developed a secure activation method for use on our commercial programs,

Basicly what we would like you to do is to try and crack this program, both the activation and the trial limitations.

You can do this in anyway you want - keygening, cracking, patching etc.

We just want to see how easy it is for you to crack.

Thanks & Happy Cracking

Please submit any solutions, we did not know what difficulty level to put this as so we put it at 5, anyway it should be enough of a challenge for most people! – It has a few special checks built in, and the activation just to make it a little harder

Note: no CRC etc. checks are used

Enjoy!

Thanks for submitting a solution DaXXoR_101!

Excellent crackme!
Anyone else that can provide alternative methods of cracking, please feel free to submit solutions! And we hope you all look forward to v1.1!

Also be sure to checkout the Trial part of the program, we left a hidden feature there on purpose - that would greatly help anyone else willing to try to crack this - another idea: change the activation URL - of course all these ideas will be defeated in v1.1 which will be available soon! Enjoy!

Ok - we've just submitted v1.1 - this version contains way more protection features and is going to be quite a bit harder to crack - the activation method has changed slightly - and the trial stuff has been re-done!
